Nikhil literally spent nearly 2.5 years on his next big outing Swayambhu which will be released in 9 different languages. The film’s teaser has been released today to instantly exceptional response.
Director Bharat Krishnamachari praised Nikhil for bestowing more than two years to the project. He declared that delay in VFX is the reason for the film’s delay. He also assured that the movie set in 985 AD will offer great experience, disclosing the untold chapter in Indian history.
Nikhil shared that the entire team worked with passion and sincerity. “This teaser takes you straight into the world of Swayambhu. We truly believe we’ve made a great film with the best of the best technicians. I never imagined I would get to work with Senthil Kumar. The teaser is only an introduction. The movie has many twists and turns, which will be revealed in next promos. My body transformation required a 45-day session, and I maintained this look for two and a half years.
We always talk about legendary kings like Krishnadevaraya or Katamaraju, but this film is set in 985 AD and tells the story of an underdog soldier named Krishna. It’s based on real incidents, though we added fictional elements.
Samyuktha climbed a real mountain and performed stunts- you’ll see it in the next promo. Nabha Natesh was always the first to arrive and the last to leave. She delivered fantastic dance sequences. The film has a beautiful mystical touch to it. It’s a period historical drama with a strong action backdrop.
Nikhil clarified that they did not use AI at any stage. “Considering the scale of the movie, we chose not to use AI. In fact, AI-generated shots don’t hold up or match the quality when viewed on the big screen.”
