On Independence Day, Nikhil announced that he has signed to play the lead role in his nineteenth film, which will be bankrolled by K Rajasekhar Reddy under the banner of ID Entertainments in association with Red Cinemas. The technical crew of this film included Sricharan Pakala for music, Manoj Reddy for cinematography and Garry BH for editing.

The project marks the maiden collaboration of Nikhil and Garry BH, who is a well-known editor in Tollywood, working for more than twenty films. Now, he is all set to wear the director’s hat for a
spy thriller
, which was written by himself. Garry BH is known for his films such as 'Goodachari,' 'Evaru,' 'Aswathama,' 'HIT: The First Case,' 'Paagal' and 'Ichata Vahanamulu Niluparadu.'
After 'Yuvatha,' Nikhil has been part of several films that have fared decently at the box office but were not declared hits. Then, the actor changed his route and picked intense dramas and entertaining subjects. He is currently busy wrapping up the shoot of Chandoo Mondeti’s 'Karthikeya 2' and Palnati Surya Pratap’s '18 Pages.'
