Nikhil Siddharth's new movie, written by Sukumar, was launched today. To be directed by Palnati Surya Pratap (of 'Kumari 21F' fame), the film's pooja ceremony saw the presence of Allu Arjun's little daughter Arha as the chief guest.

Titled '18 Pages', this one sees the coming together of Allu Aravind, 'Arjun Suravaram' actor, and rising young producer Bunny Vas. Vas, after producing hits like 'Bhale Bhale Bhale Magadivoi' and 'Geetha Govindam', is bankrolling '18 Pages' amid positive vibes.

A youthful, romantic entertainer in which the male protagonist loves the female protagonist unconditionally, this GA 2 Pictures-Sukumar Writings collaboration has music by Gopi Sunder. Cinematography is by Yuvaraj. Art Direction is by Ramana Vanka. The 'Rangasthalam' director has penned the story and screenplay.

Apart from this, Nikhil is doing 'Kartikeya 2', a mystery thriller, in the direction of Chandoo Mondeti.
