I prefer simple stories and fantasy dramas to historical roles'

AX, directed by Vijay Kartikeyaa and starring Kichcha Sudeep, is described as a high-energy thriller that unfolds over a single night, with Sudeep playing a police officer who returns to duty after a suspension. While this action-packed role fits seamlessly into Sudeep's career, one often wonders why the versatile actor known for Eega, who could easily take on a wide range of characters, shies away from historical dramas and veers more towards fantasy and other fictional genres.

Sudeep reveals that his passion for cinema is fueled by the creative freedom that fantasy and simple stories offer. "I prefer simple, engaging stories," he shares. "In a fantasy genre, writers have the liberty to mix commercial elements without any boundaries. It's like a grandmother telling a tale that starts with, 'Once upon a time, there was a king', and from there, anything can happen. Historical dramas, on the other hand, come with limitations that can stifle creativity."
