Nikhil Siddhartha is the most-valued middle-range actor after Natural Star Nani. 'Kartikeya 2' has re-shaped his career in a way nobody could have fathomed. He has raced past medium-range heroes like Naga Chaitanya, Sharwanand, Varun Tej and the rest.
Recently, three producers joined hands to announce 'The India House', a pan-India film, with him as the hero. Ram Charan, Vikram Reddy and Abhishek Agarwal are producing this 2024 release. For the '18 Pages' actor, this is the most expensive film in his career.
The 'Happy Days' actor is also doing another period film, which is expected to be mounted on a gigantic scale. 'Kartikeya 3' is pending to be made. It might happen in 2025.
A lot will now depend on how well 'Spy' does at the box office when it hits the screens in June. The pan-India film, directed by Garry BH, is about Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose's mysterious disappearance in 1945. If this film becomes a hit at the Hindi box office, 'The India House' and the rest of the projects that Nikhil has in his filmography will sell like hotcakes.
