It was supposed to be a busy day for Kiccha Sudeep fans today. First, the trailer of Max that they’ve been eagerly waiting for was supposed to drop at 11.08 am, and later in the day, all roads would lead to Chitradurga, when Sudeep makes his way to Kicchana Kote for the film’s pre-release event. But then, moments before the trailer was to drop, the team had a change of heart. There was no point in doing 2 things on one day – instead, the trailer launch and the pre-release event would be clubbed together, with a lucky few fans to do the honour of releasing it.

Max trailer:
After a late start to the pre-release event, the trailer of Max made its way at 9.30 pm. It teases about a certain incident that is best kept hidden from Arjun Mahakshay, because if it were to come to his attention, there is no saying what he will do to anyone associated with it. The trailer is quite action packed, as Arjun gets into clean-up mode to get rid of everyone headed his way.
In his promotional interviews, Sudeep has clarified that Max is a story that unfolds in one night – between 7 pm and 7 am, with the central focus an incident that triggers his character Arjun Mahakshay, aka Max, to retaliate with violence. This plot point is established early on in the film, Sudeep had said, with the rest of the film then revolving around the suspense of what comes next.
While Sudeep was very impressed with Vijay Kartikeyaa’s simple, to-the-point narrative, the only change the actor wanted was to avoid a romantic entanglement for him, even as a flashback. This story did not need such a diversion, he reckoned.
