Sundeep Kishan hits out at trolling, low screen count for Sigma
Sundeep Kishan has expressed disappointment over the low screen count for his upcoming film Sigma, which releases on Friday, 2 October 2026. The actor said on social media that the film has his lowest release in a decade in Hyderabad, citing more than half a dozen movies releasing the same day as a key reason.
In a separate post, Sundeep Kishan also addressed what he described as a targeted anti-campaign against him and the film. He claimed he knows the people behind the posts and alleged they are being paid for it, issuing a warning: ‘Just reminding you that you have more to lose than me.’
Sigma marks the directorial debut of Jason Sanjay, son of Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Vijay. Actor Suriya posted a note wishing Jason Sanjay well, saying he ‘can’t believe little Sanjay is a director now.’ The film also stars Faria Abdullah and is produced by Subaskaran under Lyca Productions.
