Starring versatile actor Sundeep Kishan in the lead alongside Faria Abdullah, the bilingual venture has already stoked curiosity with its slick teaser and energetic tracks. Solidifying its theatrical reach across the Telugu heartland, powerhouse distribution banner Mythri Movie Distributors LLP is releasing the film across Telangana and Coastal Andhra, while NVR Cinema is orchestrating the release in Ceeded.
With the film set to hit cinemas on October 2, 2026, the core team addressed media members in Hyderabad, sharing insights into what makes this fast-paced treasure-hunt caper special.
"He Promised 70 Days, Finished in 63": Sundeep Kishan Praises Jason Sanjay's Discipline
Taking the stage, Sundeep Kishan spoke with evident pride about introducing Jason Sanjay to Telugu audiences:
*"Introducing Sanjay to our Telugu film industry brings me immense joy. He is an exceptionally grounded young man, and I feel truly proud of his work ethic. While my identity will forever be rooted in Telugu cinema, seeing a bilingual film shaped so seamlessly gives me deep satisfaction.
Sanjay is an avid watcher of Telugu films and knows our commercial rhythm inside out. Given his background, he could have easily launched his directorial career with any frontline star. Yet, he was adamant about casting someone who could convincingly carry the energy in both Telugu and Tamil.
What impressed me most was his professional execution: he gave producers an estimate of 70 days, handed me a 100% bound script on day one, and completed filming in just 63 days—translating every single scene exactly as narrated. His passion for cinema is genuine, and Sigma will be an unadulterated fun ride for audiences across both languages."*
