Description: Karthikeya 2 is a 2022 Indian Telugu-language supernatural thriller film written and directed by Chandoo Mondeti. Produced by Abhishek Agarwal Arts and People Media Factory, it serves as a sequel to the 2014 film Karthikeya. The movie stars Nikhil Siddharth, Anupama Parameswaran, and Anupam Kher in lead roles.
The story follows Dr. Karthikeya Kumaraswamy, a young doctor who investigates myths and legends but relies on facts and logic. During a visit to the ancient city of Dwarka with his mother Tulsi and friend Ravi, he becomes entangled in the murder case of an archaeological researcher.
The project was announced in 2017, but principal photography began in February 2021 after delays. Filming took place in India and Europe, including locations like Gujarat, Himachal Pradesh, Spain, Portugal, and Greece. Production faced a temporary halt in March 2021 due to Nikhil Siddharth’s leg injury but resumed in April 2021.
Karthikeya 2 was released on August 13, 2022, in Telugu and Hindi. Initially planned for a July 22 release, it was postponed to avoid clashes with other films. The worldwide theatrical rights were sold for ₹17.25 crore, with Zee Telugu and ZEE5 acquiring satellite and digital distribution rights, respectively.
