A few days ago, Kichcha Sudeep sent over an exquisite box from Aubree Haute Chocolaterie (Bengaluru’s renowned award-winning patisserie) along with a special invite, requesting my presence for the screening of “Mango Pachcha”—the maiden venture of his Supriyanvi Productions. He later followed up with a warm, personal phone call to invite me. Amidst the political whirlwind of a new government formation and the frantic updates on cabinet reshuffles, I managed to carve out some time and headed to his residence in J.P. Nagar.”

Story and Kichcha Sudeep’s contribution

The story reportedly unfolds during the early 2000s and recreates that period’s atmosphere.The review also pointed toward Kichcha Sudeep’s involvement in the project. Besides lending his voice, he reportedly guided several aspects connected to the film and supported Sanchith’s development.

Debut performance receives praise in early review

His speed and energy in stunts are captivating. Under Sudeep’s mentorship, Sanchith often mirrors the superstar’s style and mannerisms. Dubbed “Kichcha Junior” by fans, Sanchith is a carbon copy of Sudeep in several scenes.”The review also suggested that Sanchith displayed confidence despite this being his first film. ‘Mango Pachcha’ is expected to have a decent opening at the box office.
