When Arun Sagar Helped Kiccha Sudeep During His 2001 Film Valee’s Promotions

South star Kiccha Sudeep’s journey to stardom wasn’t an easy one. Like many in the film industry, he had his share of struggles. Those who have closely observed his journey, like art director and actor Arun Sagar, can confirm this. In a recent interview, Arun Sagar reminisced about his experiences with Kiccha Sudeep. He shared an incident from the promotional event of Kiccha Sudeep’s 2001 release, Vaalee. In the film, Kiccha Sudeep portrayed a double role, bringing a unique depth to both characters. Despite playing a villain, his portrayal had a certain softness. As the movie neared its release date, promotional activities kicked off. During the audio release campaign, an unexpected hurdle came up. The plan was to unveil the movie’s audio on a television channel. When the time came for the event, none of the film team members showed up except Kiccha Sudeep himself.

Kiccha Sudeep turned to his constant companion at the time, Arun Sagar, seeking guidance. Unsure of how to proceed, Arun Sagar quickly sprung into action. He rushed to the channel’s studio and orchestrated a makeshift set, ensuring everything was in place for the audio release.

Despite the unconventional circumstances, the audio release of Vaalee proceeded smoothly, thanks to Arun Sagar’s quick thinking and ingenuity. While Kiccha Sudeep may not have anticipated such a turn of events, he remained composed throughout the event.

Once outside the studio, Kiccha Sudeep’s emotions spilt over and tears welled up in his eyes. Witnessing his friend’s vulnerability, Arun Sagar offered words of reassurance, reminding Kiccha Sudeep that such challenges were a part of life in the entertainment industry. He encouraged Kiccha Sudeep to remain steadfast, knowing that setbacks were temporary and success was inevitable.

Arun Sagar is a multi-talented personality in the Indian film industry, known for his work as an actor, art director, and comedian. His illustrious career began with his contribution to Bhoomi Geetha, which earned national recognition for its environmental themes.
