Nikhil Siddhartha On Taking The Karthikeya Franchise Forward

Nikhil Siddhartha is set to return as Karthikeya in the much-awaited Karthikeya 3. The film is currently in the very early stages of development and expectations are much high after the success of the first two parts.

Karthikeya 2 also won a National Award.

Nikhil said the team wants to make the third part bigger and better without compromising on quality for sure. He revealed that the makers are currently working on the script and finalising locations.

However, Nikhil is busy with Swayambhu which he has been working on for nearly two years. He said work on Karthikeya 3 will move forward after completing Swayambhu.

Directed by Bharat Krishnamachari, Swayambhu features Samyuktha and Nabha Natesh as the female leads and is being made on a grand scale.
