Released in 2014 as a mystery-thriller,
Chandoo Mondeti’s ‘Karthikeya’ registered a thumping victory at the box-office with glowing praises to the edge-of-the-seat narration and gripping screenplay by the debutante filmmaker. Helmed on a shoe-string budget, the film also revived the career of
Nikhil Siddharth
who has suffered a string of flops till then. A couple of years ago, the 33-year-old actor revealed that the
sequel
of Karthikeya is on cards. However, there was no information on the film after that.
Presently,
Nikhil
is awaiting the release of his forthcoming film ‘Arjun Suravaram’ and the theatrical trailer is already out on YouTube. It is the official
remake
of Tamil blockbuster
Kanithan
with director
TN Santosh
helming the Telugu version too. The story of
Arjun Suravaram
revolves around an aspiring investigative journalist who uncovers a crime syndicate selling forged degrees.
According to T-Town sources, Nikhil has confirmed ‘
Karthikeya 2
’ as his next project and a major part of the film’s shoot will happen in Mathura. After preparing a tight script, Chandoo Mondeti is in the process of finalising the cast and technicians. Abhishek Nama is expected to bankroll this film on a lavish budget.
