Nikhil to star in VI Anand's next

Actor Nikhil Siddhartha who is presently working on the upcoming crime comedy, Sankarabharanam, has signed his next film. VI Anand who had earlier directed Tiger starring Sundeep Kishan will be directing the film tipped to be a 'thrilling love story.'
'Anand narrated a brilliant script and I immediately said yes. It is going to be a very different film in a new genre,' shares Nikhil who has consciously been making an effort to star in films which aren't run-off-the-mill.
The actor seems to have no qualms about the fact that the Tiger didn't fare well at the box office. 'I don't really think success at the box office makes a difference. I went ahead with him because I loved the narration and I have confidence in it,' says Nikhil who is excited to be a part of the film.
Meanwhile, Nikhil is prepping to act in Karthikeya 2, a sequel to the 2014 hit film Karthikeya in which he co-starred with Swathi and Chandoo Mondeti.
