It is a norm in the Telugu film industry, the moment a film is a hit, twenty other film makers approach the actor with more or less the same subject. The actor ha sto show utmost discretion in choosing his film lest he might fall into the trap of getting stereotyped. A similar aspect took place with Nikhil. He says, “The moment Karthikeya became a hit, I was deluged with offers and almost all were very close to what I did in Karthikeya. Prominent amongst it was Rang Taranga, the super hit Kannada remake which I refused outrightedly despite being offered a huge remuneration.” Nikhil is taking pains to see he signs a novel subject and not get typecast. He is also endorsing many brands and is seen as the most bankable young hero eversince Karthikeya released. His next is Vi Anand’s film followed by Chandoo Mondeti’s Karthikeya 2.
