Nikhil Siddhartha, who is currently juggling pan-India projects Swayambhu and The India House, both slated for 2026, has now added a sci-fi superhero saga to his growing lineup.
Sree Venkateswara Cinemas LLP, fresh off the success of Kuberaa, announced the project on Wednesday. The announcement coincided with Ganesh Chathurthi and the birthday of producer Suniel Narang.
Tentatively referred to as SVCLLP x Nikhil, a concept poster released with the announcement sets an intriguing tonal note. The still, looks VFX or AI created, has futuristic hues in cool blues, a silhouetted figure, implying Nikhil, standing in still air with a glowing circular ring behind, conveys high-concept storytelling.
As per the makers, this will be the most high-budgeted film of Nikhil’s career, ramping up expectations for a distinctly new avatar and character design for the Karthikeya 2 actor.
The makers took to social media to make the announcement and wrote, “SVCLLP x Nikhil. Celebrating the spirit of Vinayaka Chavithi & Suniel Narang’s birthday, SVCLLP teams up with Nikhil to bring you a larger-than-life cinematic experience.”
More details about SVCLLP x Nikhil, the cast and crew, remain under wraps for now.
