Nikhil Siddhartha's grand historical film 'Swayambhu' to now release on April 10

Chennai, Jan 25

Director Bharat Krishnamachari's historical action epic 'Swayambhu', featuring actors Nikhil Siddhartha, Samyuktha and Nabha Natesh in the lead, will hit screens worldwide on April 10 this year, its makers have now announced.

Positioned as an epic celebrating India's rich history and timeless glory, 'Swayambhu' was originally set to hit screens worldwide on February 13 this year on the occasion of Maha Shivaratri.

However, the makers have now pushed the release of the film to April 10. Sources say that the film's VFX work requires additional time and therefore, the makers had decided to push the release of the film to April 10 this year.

Produced by Bhuvan and Sreekar under the banner of Pixel Studios, 'Swayambhu', which is being presented by Tagore Madhu, is one of the most eagerly awaited films of the year. The film has triggered huge interest not just in fans but also film buffs for a number of reasons.

It is an already established fact that young hero Nikhil Siddhartha went to Vietnam to train in martial arts for the film. In fact, the young actor became so proficient in the use of swords that he could fight with a sword in either hand.

Sources had disclosed to IANS that it was not just Nikhil Siddhartha who received training in sword fighting and that even the supporting cast received training in sword fighting from experts.

A source had told IANS that a team of Vietnamese sword fighting experts were flown in to train the stunt artistes here who shot for the film. Several hundred artistes were part of the enormous climax sequence that was shot over a period of 60 days at the Annapurna Studios in Hyderabad.

Produced by Bhuvan and Sreekar under Pixel Studios, and presented by Tagore Madhu, 'Swayambhu' stands as one of Nikhil's most prestigious ventures to date.

It may be recalled that the makers had, in November last year, confirmed that the monumental production had officially wrapped its shoot. After an intense two-year journey and 170 days of extensive filming, the team proudly announced the completion of the film.

Rooted in India's cultural heritage, 'Swayambhu' will delve into untold chapters of the past - stories that extend far beyond traditional tales of kings and wars. At its heart lies the saga of a formidable warrior whose valour shaped an era.

As someone who loves historical dramas, I'm excited. But I hope the story about the "formidable warrior" goes beyond just action and gives us real depth and cultural context. Fingers crossed!

April 10 it is! The wait is a bit longer but totally worth it if the VFX is top-notch. Shooting a climax for 60 days sounds insane! Hope this becomes a landmark film for Telugu cinema.

Respectfully, I wish they'd stuck to the Maha Shivaratri release. It had a nice symbolic touch. But quality over dates, I suppose. Hope the "untold chapters" they talk about are genuinely new and not just repackaged folklore.

Training with Vietnamese experts and a 170-day shoot? The scale seems massive. Nikhil is a hardworking actor, hope this hard work translates on screen. Eagerly waiting, yaar!

Interesting to see the global collaboration - Vietnamese trainers for an Indian historical. Hope the storytelling matches the ambition of the production. The delay suggests they're not rushing it, which is good.
