Actor Sudeep revealed, “There are lot of inside agendas. Let me not pretend that nothing happened. Not everybody involved in the show deserve my effort. For example, I will be somewhere in North India. I travel for the show from there and see all the episodes and then get ready for the weekend episodes. It takes a lot of effort. When the effort isn’t acknowledged, I feel I can put in the same amount of hard work in my films.” Kichcha Sudeepa: It’s a Wonderful Time When South Indian Cinema Is Being Acknowledged as Indian Cinema.

About the show Bigg Boss Kannada, Sudeep added, “I have a huge following from Bigg Boss. However, it’s time somebody else takes up my role. To be honest, Kannada Bigg Boss deserves a better approach. It also deserves better respect when you compared to its equivalents from the neighbouring industries. Our (Kannada) audience deserves better respect.” Currently, Sudeep is hosting Bigg Boss Kannada 11, which premiered on September 29, 2024.
