When Bichagadu initially hit the screens, it surprised all of us with its huge success all over South India. At first, particularly in Telugu-speaking areas, the movie received little hype. The unconventional title even confused audiences about what to look forward to. Positive word of mouth and good reviews, however, turned the tables soon enough and made Bichagadu a blockbuster.
It ran for a long time and triumphantly earned a large fan base later on using OTT media. The film gave a major boost to the career of Vijay Antony, who moved from music composer to become a successful main actor.
Though some of his later films failed to reach that same level of success, Bichagadu 2 re-established Vijay Antony. With mixed reviews, even the sequel worked well at the box office due to the good brand and fanbase of the franchise.
Following a temporary slowdown in his professional life, Vijay Antony is making a comeback of sorts with the thriller Maargan, which should arrive on June 27. While promoting this movie, he thrilled fans by announcing Bichagadu 3 officially. He assured that the shooting would commence soon, and the film would hit the screens next year.
Although the first Bichagadu was helmed by Sasi, the sequel will be under the direction of Vijay Antony, who will also keep directing Bichagadu 3. The new installment will be made in association with his own production banner, Vijay Antony Films.
This confirmation has increased excitement among the fans waiting to know if Bichagadu 3 will carry the successful trend ahead and maintain the momentum of the franchise strong.
