Come January, Nikhil Kumar will have his hands full. According to our sources, the Jaguar hero is likely to begin the year with not one, but two projects. An official announcement to this effect will be made in the new year. Nikhil will associate with Telugu director Vijay Kumar Konda, who has films such as Okka Laila Kosam and Gunde Jaari Gallanthayyinde to his credit. The filmmaker will now make his Kannada debut.

And for his second project, we hear that Nikhil will once again join hands with his Seetharama Kalyana director, Harsha. Apparently, Harsha had an interesting pitch which impressed the actor. Now, the question is whether the film will be made under their home banner Channambika productions, or whether Nikhil will bring on board a new producer. These details will be known only once the official announcement is made.

Meanwhile, Nikhil’s second film Seetharama Kalyaana is slated for release in January. Though a confirmation is awaited on this count, director Harsha and team are known to be working towards this target. Currently, the makers are preparing for the audio launch of the film, which has music by Anup Reubens. Swamy J, the film’s cinematographer, and the team is also working on the pre-release trailer.
