'Swamy Ra Ra' made me an established actor: Nikhil

Nikhil Siddhartha, who hasn't had a release since last year's Telugu blockbuster "Swamy Ra Ra", says the film made him an established actor and it changed his priorities as an actor.

"Before 'Swamy Ra Ra', I only had two hits and it was difficult to get established as an actor. All that changed after the film's release. The subjects that I'm getting after that film are far better. I'm also being approached by big banners and popular directors," Nikhil told IANS.

"It was because of the success of 'Swamy Ra Ra', I didn't mind spending over a year for my next release. Thanks to the success of that film, now I have several choices to choose from," he added.

Nikhil is currently awaiting the release of Tamil-Telugu bilingual "Karthikeya".

Meanwhile, the sequel to "Swamy Ra Ra" is likely to go on the floors soon sans Nikhil. The film is also being currently remade in Tamil.
