Nikhil Siddhartha’s recent outings didn’t perform as expected and didn’t significantly advance his career, but he is now gearing up for his next project, Swayambhu. This period war action-drama is set to be the biggest-budget film of his career.
With Bharat Krishnamachari making his directorial debut, the movie has returned to the spotlight. Actor Nikhil shared an Instagram update hinting at something exciting:
“A film that has been my career’s most exciting and enlightening journey. It has taught me that patience is key when something extraordinary is brewing,” he wrote.
Rumours suggest that he may have been referring to the film’s release date, with reports indicating a possible February 14, 2026 release across multiple languages. However, nothing has been officially confirmed yet.
The movie stars Samyuktha and Nabha Natesh as the female leads and is being produced on a grand scale by Bhuvan and Sreekar under Pixel Studios, with presentation by Tagore Madhu.
Cinematography is handled by KK Senthil Kumar, music by Ravi Basrur, and production design by M. Prabhaharan and Raveendra, promising a rich cinematic experience for audiences.
