Kannada Star's Nephew Sanchith Sanjeev to Debut in 'Mango Pachcha' in 2026

In November 2025, it was announced that Sanchith Sanjeev, the nephew of Kannada superstar Kichcha Sudeep, will be making his acting debut in the upcoming Kannada film 'Mango Pachcha'. The crime thriller, directed by Viveka, is set to release on January 15, 2026, coinciding with the Sankranti festival.

Kichcha Sudeep, who is Sanchith's uncle, expressed his happiness and pride in introducing the newcomer to the industry. The teaser of 'Mango Pachcha' has already generated significant buzz, with viewers eager to see how Sanchith, known by his screen name Sanchii, will be received by the audience and the industry.

The film, which was primarily shot in Mysuru, aims to authentically capture the city's character and atmosphere. It follows a family legacy, as Sanchith is the grandson of Sanjeev, an entrepreneur and producer, and the nephew of the leading Kannada actor Kichcha Sudeep.

Notably, the film's audio rights have been sold to the Saregama music label for Rs 1.2 crore, a remarkable achievement for a debutant project. The movie features Kajal Kundar as the female lead, alongside a diverse supporting cast, and includes action sequences choreographed by Ravivarma and Satish, as well as a dance number led by choreographer E Harsha.

'Mango Pachcha' is produced by Supriyanvi Studios and KRG Studios, with the hope that it can set new standards for festival releases in the Kannada film industry.
