Young hero Nikhil Siddhartha has scored his career's biggest blockbuster this year with 'Karthikeya 2'. This mystery adventure thriller won the appreciation of many and became a success all over the nation. To everyone's surprise, the film did extremely well in the northern belt too and minted over 125 crores worldwide.
This is a huge achievement for Nikhil who never scored a 50 crore film before. Prior to 'Karthikeya 2', Nikhil had to wait for more than two years to have a release since his last film was 'Arjun Suravaram'. But the success of 'Karthikeya 2' increased his market value immensely and sources say that he upped his remuneration due to this.
The latest news suggests that the 'Happy Days' actor is charging around 8 crores from now on. This is a huge figure for a midlevel hero but the success of 'Karthikeya 2' has definitely upped his value and craze among the public. The young hero needs to select good scripts and score hits in order to justify this huge paycheck he is reportedly asking for.
Coming to his next project '18 Pages', it is getting released on 23rd December. Produced under 'GA2 Pictures' by Bunny Vas, '18 Pages' has Sukumar's banner attached to it since he wrote the script. Palnati Surya Pratap who made 'Kumari 21F' earlier is handling the megaphone. Nikhil is the hero while Anupama Parameswaran is the heroine in this romantic comedy. They paired up earlier this year for 'Karthikeya 2'.
