Karthikeya 3 Announcement: Nikhil Siddhartha is all set to return with the sequel of his hit epic adventure franchise 'Karthikeya'. The actor has officially announced 'Karthikeya 3' and fans couldn't be more excited. The franchise focuses on a curious medical student, who embarks on an adventurous journey to find the mysteries behind an Indian temple. Nikhil will reprise his role of Dr Karthikeya in the third instalment of the franchise.

Announcing the movie, he wrote, "Dr. Karthikeya In Search of a Brand new Adventure ... Soon @chandoomondeti."

For the unversed, 'Karthikeya 2' witnessed a massive success among the Hindi audience as well. Talking about his reaction after the movie became a hit in Hindi as well, he told FirstPost, "Never. Never. Not even in my wildest dreams. We knew that the film would release in Hindi and people would come and see it. But we never thought with such low ticket rates, we would have such big numbers. The footfalls were massive. We did not expect this, but alls well that ends well. It has set some really high milestones."

Talking about his experience of working with Anupam Kher, he added, "We all know Anupam Kher sir needs no introduction. He’s a worldwide phenomenon. He just delivered a 300-crore film like The Kashmir Files . It’s kinda scary to work with such a big acting powerhouse. He makes every other actor perform well too. My acting was elevated when I was working with him. He being a part of the film was a huge boost for all of us, especially in the Hindi belt. The performance that he gave, especially in the scene when he describes the aura of Lord Krishna, the legacy of Lord Krishna, made people come repeatedly to see the film. I’ll always be grateful and thankful to him."

On the work front, Nikhil Siddhartha was last seen in 'Spy'.
