Hero Nikhil who gained nationwide fame with Karthikeya 2 will be joining forces with director Bharat Krishnamachari for his milestone 20th movie. Titled Swayambhu, Bhuvan and Sreekar will produce the movie under Pixel Studios with Tagore Madhu presenting it.

While the title Swayambhu alone generated lots of curiosity, the title poster that showed the sacred Sengol made everyone inquisitive to know more about the project. Then, the first-look poster that presented Nikhil as a ferocious warrior received an overwhelming response.

The film's shoot is going at breakneck pace. From his get-up to his costumes, this is a new Nikhil which we haven’t seen before. It is known that Samyuktha Menon is the female lead opposite Nikhil. She also learned horse riding for her character.

Makers locked gorgeous actress Nabha Natesh of Ismart Shankar fame to play another female lead role in the film. The actress will join the sets very soon. Swayambhu will be mounted with top technical standards. 

Manoj Paramahamsa helms the cinematography, while Ravi Basrur scores the music. M Prabhaharan is the production designer and the dialogues for the movie are provided by Vasudev Muneppagari.
