The release date of actor Nikhil’s new film in more than a year Karthikeya is finally locked. The film will hit the screens all over on August 1 according to the latest reports. This being the actors first release after Swamy Ra Ra has given lots of hype on it. Incidentally the film also has the same pairing of Swathi and Nikhil for this film as well.

Karthikeya is directed by debutant Chandoo Mondeti. Ever since the theatrical trailer of the film was released on the day of the audio launch Karthikeya has generated tremendous curiosity among the movie lovers. But the film has been getting postponed for one reason or the other. Will the Swamy Ra Ra pair score at box office once again is something that the entire trade is looking forward too. Let’s hope there are no further postponements as the film has already been delayed by a long time.
