Karthikeya 2 team visits Iskcon Temple to seek blessings

Before the promo release of Karthikeya 2 in Hindi, the team of the film had visited the iconic Iskcon Brindavan temple to seek blessings of Lord Krishna. This time it is going by the Manusmriti verse - “Dharma eva hato hanti dharmo rakṣatirakṣitaḥ tasmād dharmo na hantavyo mā no dharmo hato'vadhīt” – which means "Justice, blighted, blights; and justice, preserved, preserves; hence justice should not be blighted, lest blighted justice blight us.”

Speaking about the film, a source close to the development said, “This magnum opus is a well-researched entertainment filled story with electrifying visuals and heightened emotions. While director Chandoo Mondeti brings his one-of-a-kind vision to the film, protagonist Nikhil Siddhartha brings unshakeable screen presence and a sense of strong confidence.”

Talking about the film, T.G. Vishwa Prasad said, “Character Karthikeya has the potential to be expanded and explored across a wide range of mythological and historical stories. Having witnessed Director Chandoo Mondeti’s in-depth knowledge of history and ancient scripts, it’s a no-brainer choice to go ahead with his vision for this Epic Indian Adventure. Karthikeya 2 is a project filled with conviction”.
