Sundeep Kishan fires back at online critics, claims paid negativity, as Jason Sanjay's Sigma opens nationwide
Sundeep Kishan didn’t just walk into theatres on Friday — he stormed them. With a warning. A viral post from October 1, now echoing across every fan thread and industry chat, wasn’t just heat. It was a declaration: the noise around Sigma isn’t random.
It’s targeted. And someone knows who’s paying for it. The film itself opened in cinemas today, but the real battle started online. Sundeep took to X with a blunt message: ‘You have more to lose than me.’ No ambiguity.
No diplomacy. Just a man staring down a storm he believes is being paid for. He followed it up in Telugu, a direct threat wrapped in poetic menace. ‘If this gets exposed directly, everyone will get caught… be careful.’ The subtext?
This isn’t criticism. It’s sabotage. And he’s not backing down. The film, Jason Sanjay’s directorial debut, arrives with all the baggage of nepotism, bilingual ambition, and high expectations.
Vijay’s son stepping into the ring with a heist thriller that’s already been compared to Vicky Donor and Badhai Ho. Not for plot, but for tone. Sundeep plays Guru, a radio host turned rogue treasure hunter, leading a crew through a high-octane caper against an underworld syndicate. Faria Abdullah is by his side, with Sampath Raj, Shiv Panditt, Yog Japee, and Sheela Rajkumar rounding out the cast.
Thaman S handles the score. Lyca Productions backs it. But the moment the lights went down in theatres, the real question shifted: how much of the buzz is genuine, and how much is engineered? Early morning shows reported solid occupancy.
Critics are calling the action sequences sharp, Sundeep’s performance energetic, Jason’s direction confident. Yet the digital war rages on. Was the negativity coordinated? Who’s funding it?
And why now? The answers aren’t in the press note. They’re in the silence after the tweet. The weekend will tell.
But the first move was made before the first frame. And Sundeep Kishan just said: you don’t know what I’m capable of.
