Kannada Thriller 'KD The Devil' Delayed Until 2026 Amid Production Hurdles

As of October 8th, 2025, the release of the highly anticipated Kannada action thriller 'KD The Devil' has been pushed back from its original 2025 premiere to 2026. The film, featuring Dhruva Sarja and Bollywood star Sanjay Dutt, was previously expected to hit theaters in 2025, but unforeseen production challenges and a strategic decision to steer clear of competition from major releases have led to the delay.

According to reports, the shoot for 'KD The Devil' had not been fully completed, and a planned cameo by popular Kannada actor Kiccha Sudeep was eventually scrapped in mid-September, further complicating the release plans. The director, Prem, had earlier hinted at a Deepavali release in 2025, but no official announcement has been made amid the ongoing box office success of Rishab Shetty's 'Kantara Chapter 1.'

The film, produced by the same banner backing Yash's 'Toxic,' will now likely avoid clashing with other major releases in 2025. With Geethu Mohandas' directorial slated for March and the busy Christmas period favoring Kiccha Sudeep's releases, 'KD The Devil' may now look for a post-'Toxic' window, possibly in late 2026.
