Cast

Filming for Kotigobba 3 began in June 2018 in Belgrade. Lead actor Sudeep rejoined the production in March 2019, after finishing his filming commitments for Pailwaan. Kotigobba 3 continued to have a start-stop filming schedule due to Sudeep's other acting commitments such as the Telugu film Sye Raa Narasimha Reddy, as well as his injury on the film's sets in Hyderabad in August 2019. Parts of the film were shot in other countries including Serbia, Malaysia, Thailand and Poland. The filming was completed in January 2020, after which shooting of song sequences was scheduled in Puducherry, Mumbai and Bangalore.
