Sudeep`s latest Kannada/Tamil bilingual Mudinja Ivana Pudi` directed by K.S. Ravikumar with Nithya Menen as heroine is getting a thumbs up from fans and there is a considerable increase in theaters from this Friday onwards. The film is titled Kotigobba 2` in Kannada and has become a blockbuster.

Meanwhile, Ram Gopal Varma has begun issuing a new round of controversial statements about Rajini and has tweeted to Sudeep "I just saw Kotigobba 2 and I honestly think you should change your name from Kiccha Sudeepa to Rajni Sudeepa. Rajni can do just only one type whereas you proved better versatility from Autograph to Eega to Kotigobba 2 to many more. You can any day do a Robot (Enthiran) in your sleep, but Rajnikant can't do a Eega (Naan E) even in his dream..Respect". RGV has also compared Sudeep with the late Kannada superstar Vishnuvardhan.

The gentleman he is Sudeep has replied "thanks for the appreciation sir....but I'm nowhere close nor a comparison to th two legends,,Vishnusir & RajiniSir."
