Nikhil Siddhartha’s Swayambhu Crosses ₹60 Cr Budget

The upcoming period epic Swayambhu, starring young actor Nikhil Siddhartha, is reportedly exceeding its budget due to the scale of its production. Sources close to the project reveal that the film’s budget has crossed ₹60 crore, making it the most expensive venture in Nikhil's career.

Directed by Bharat Krishnamachari, Swayambhu is an ambitious project that demands extensive investment in expansive sets, intricate war sequences, and cutting-edge VFX to deliver a cinematic spectacle.

In addition to Nikhil, who will be seen in a fierce warrior avatar, the film stars Samyuktha Menon as the female lead and Nabha Natesh in a supporting role. The story is said to follow the life of an emperor who established a golden age in history.

Nikhil has been actively sharing behind-the-scenes glimpses from the sets, revealing his preparations for the role and teasing fans with updates. Recently, he posted about filming "crazy war action scenes" and hinted at renowned international technicians joining the team to enhance the film’s grandeur.

The makers have planned a pan-India release for Swayambhu, with the film set to hit screens in Telugu, Hindi, Malayalam, Tamil, and Kannada. “With the rising costs of pan-India productions, the team is leaving no stone unturned to ensure a visual extravaganza,” an insider said.

Stay tuned for more updates as the highly anticipated project unfolds.
