Actor Nikhil is excited to flag off the summer season with his campus love story Kirrak Party. The film, being directed by Sharan Koppisetty, is poised for release in the third week of March.

Speaking to Cinema Express, Nikhil confirms the release date and says, “We have zeroed in on March 16 as the release date. I’m really excited as it’s going to be the first release for this summer.”

The film shows the Keshava actor in two distinct shades as a lovable college goer and as a stubborn student leader Krishna. It is learnt that Nikhil has undergone a dramatic transformation and gained eight kilos for the role.

Produced by Ramabrahmam Sunkara, the film is a remake of Kannada blockbuster Kirrik Party. While Samyukta Hegde reprises her role from the original, Simran Pareenja is making her Telugu debut with this remake. The screenplay and dialogues of the film are provided by directors Sudheer Varma and Chandoo Mondeti.
