Nikhil Kumar’s ‘Rider’ which was released on the 24^th of December across Karnataka did not get very good response from the audience. Meanwhile, the actor has moved onto his next venture already and the shooting for the film has already begun.

This time, Nikhil has associated with KVN Productions which has produced Ganesh’s ‘Sakath’.  The production company has also joined hands with director Prem and actor Dhruva Sarja for their next venture. Even before the launch of that project, KVN Productions has silently started shooting for Nikhil’s new film.

Nikhil’s new film is being directed by debutante Manju Atharva. Manju has worked as an associate director for films like Yash’s ‘Masterpiece’ and Shivarajkumar’s ‘Mufti’ which also had Srimurali in a prominent role. Manju also co-directed ‘Nenapirali’ Prem’s 25^th film ‘Premam Poojyam. Now Manju has turned independent director with Nikhil’s fifth film.

The untitled film is said to be an action packed family entertainer. As of now the team has not divulged the heroine or the star cast of the film. The team intends to announce the film in a grand style soon.

The film is jointly produced by Nisha Venkat Konanki and Supreeth. Ajaneesh Lokanath is the music composer, while ‘Mufti’ Naveen is the cinematographer.
