Sundeep Kishan’s Sigma locks October 2 release, to clash with Aadarsha Kutumbam

Telugu actor Sundeep Kishan and Faria Abdullah's heist thriller "Sigma" will hit theatres on October 2. The film, directed by Jason Sanjay (son of Tamil actor-politician Vijay), has faced several postponements and was originally planned for a summer release.

The release date places it opposite another major Telugu film, Venkatesh and Trivikram's "Aadarsha Kutumbam," according to TeluguCinema.com. Greatandhra.com and Telugu360.com note the Gandhi Jayanti holiday on October 2 will benefit box-office openings, with Dussehra season giving the film a long run.

Produced by Lyca Productions, the Tamil-Telugu bilingual has music by Thaman. The teaser and two songs have generated strong buzz, says Greatandhra.com. Sundeep Kishan, who last appeared in Super Subbu, stars alongside Raju Sundaram, Sampath Raj and Shiv Panditt.
