After attaining a Pan India success with Karthikeya 2, Nikhil Siddhartha has set his eyes on his next - Swayambhu. Touted to be a periodic action drama laced with fantasy, the film has spectacular cast and crew. Senthil, the lensman behind SS Rajamouli's magnum opus movies Baahubali, Magadheera, Eega, has directed the photography for Swayambhu.

Swayambhu is now slated for a theatrical release on April 10, 2026. According to sources, the team has opted for a revised date to allow additional time for VFX work, aiming to deliver a visually superior cinematic experience.
