After delivering acclaimed hits like Swamy Ra Ra, Arjun Suravaram, and the blockbuster Karthikeya 2, actor Nikhil Siddhartha is all set to make his Bollywood debut with the ambitious bilingual film The India House. Shot simultaneously in Telugu and Hindi, the film marks a significant milestone in Nikhil’s career as he takes on his first full-fledged Hindi-speaking role.
A source close to the project shared, “Nikhil now joins the ranks of Telugu stars like Prabhas and Ram Charan, who made successful transitions to Hindi cinema after establishing themselves in Tollywood.” Notably, Karthikeya 2 struck a chord with Hindi audiences, especially in North India, thanks to its mythological narrative revolving around Lord Krishna’s ornaments. That success has paved the way for this direct Hindi venture.
Set in 1905, during India’s freedom struggle, The India House is a period drama directed by Ram Vamsi Krishna. The story unfolds in London, revolving around a passionate love story interwoven with political turbulence and patriotism. The film stars Saiee Manjrekar and veteran actor Anupam Kher, alongside Nikhil in a lead role.
Confirming the project, producer Abhishek Agarwal said, “It’s a Telugu-Hindi bilingual with a universal theme—combining love and patriotism. These emotions resonate across India.” Though rumors suggest the film’s budget exceeds ₹85 crore, Agarwal remained discreet, saying only, “It will be one of the most expensive films to come out of Tollywood with genuine pan-India appeal. I focus on telling untold stories rather than following the commercial formula.”
In a surprise development, Ram Charan has come on board the film. Agarwal revealed, “The collaboration happened naturally. I discussed the script casually with mutual friends, and Ram Charan showed real interest. After a full narration, he was immediately impressed and agreed to join. His presence has added tremendous value to the film.”
With an ensemble cast, a compelling narrative, and big names backing the project, The India House is shaping up to be a landmark film that could elevate Nikhil Siddhartha’s career to a national level.
