Nikhil, who has delivered pan-Indian hits, spent more than one and a half years working on his upcoming film Swayambhu, unlike many actors who complete multiple films each year.
This periodic film is made on a budget higher than his usual market with the team showing strong belief in the project. The shoot was completed around eight months ago and post-production is now in its final stage.
Nikhil underwent a six-month physical transformation and trained abroad in combat and horse riding for his role. The teaser will be released on February 11th and the makers are confident about it.
KK Senthil Kumar and KGF music director Ravi Basrur are part of the project directed by Bharat Krishnamachari and produced by Bhuvan and Sreekar. Swayambhu is set for an April 10 pan-Indian release.
