Nithiin’s much-awaited action-comedy Robinhood has finally hit theaters, and fans were quick to draw comparisons with Ravi Teja’s 2009 film Kick. Both movies share a similar concept of a vigilante thief who steals from the rich, leading many to wonder if Robinhood is inspired by Kick.

Nithiin Clears the Air
Speaking about the comparisons, Nithiin acknowledged that the premise may seem similar but assured fans that Robinhood takes a unique route after the first 20 minutes. He stated, "The film moves in a fresh direction with humor, action, and thrilling twists that audiences will enjoy."
Plot & Star Cast
Directed by Venky Kudumula, Robinhood follows a vigilante thief played by Nithiin, who targets corrupt individuals for a greater cause. Sreeleela plays the female lead, Neera Vasudev, while the film also stars Shine Tom Chacko, Vennela Kishore, and Rajendra Prasad in key roles. Interestingly, former Australian cricketer David Warner makes his acting debut with a special cameo.
Filming & Music of Robinhood
The movie was filmed in Hyderabad, Munnar, and Melbourne, wrapping up production in December 2024 despite delays. The music, composed by G.V. Prakash Kumar, marks his first collaboration with Nithiin. Songs like One More Time and Adhi Dha Surprisu have already gained popularity among fans.
How ‘Kick’ Stands Apart
Kick, directed by Surender Reddy, was a milestone in Ravi Teja’s career. The film revolves around Kalyan, a thrill-seeker who finds excitement in risky situations. His journey takes a comedic, romantic, and action-packed turn, making it a blockbuster. The movie was later remade in Bollywood with Salman Khan, which also became a hit.
With Nithiin assuring a fresh approach, Robinhood promises an engaging cinematic experience beyond the comparisons with Kick.
