Nikhil and Colors Swathi's thriller Karthikeya directed by Chandu Mondeti which released in 2014 turned out to be a super hit and the makers are now coming up with a sequel for the film.
Though Nikhil and Chandu Mondeti planned to start shooting either from Jan last week or Feb first week, it got delayed. The sequel was launched in March first week in Tirumala.
Currently, the film's pre-production is underway and many names cropped up for the heroine. Earlier reports came that the makers are planning to rope in Anupama Parameswaran for the film. This could be true as Anupama starred in Chandu Mondeti's Premam. Buzz is Anupama used that contact and entered into Karthikeya sequel.
Though the makers first planned for another heroine, with Anupama asking Chandu Mondeti for a role, he first convinced Nikhil and also the producers. Buzz is Anupama bent backward and went all out to bag the opportunity in this film as her career is a little dull with no offers. An official announcement is expected soon in the coming days.
