The highly anticipated film Swayambhu, starring Nikhil Siddhartha, has completed an extensive 170-day shoot in the challenging Maredumilli forests near Rajahmundry, Andhra Pradesh. Director Bharat Krishnamachari consciously sought out untouched locations within these forests, which have also served as a backdrop for 'Pushpa'.

This epic film, set in India's golden era and symbolizing heritage and courage with the Sengol, features Nikhil Siddhartha in a commanding role. The production has assembled renowned talents, including KGF's music director Ravi Basrur and Baahubali's cinematographer KK Senthil Kumar.
