Karthikeya is a successful Tollywood franchise spearheaded by Nikhil and directed by Chandoo Mondeti. The second part, which revolved around Lord Krishna, became a sensation in Telugu and Hindi with massive collections. The scene where Anupam Kher explains Lord Sri Krishna’s greatness struck a chord with the audience.
The climax of Karthikeya 2 hinted at a third installment. During Thandel’s promotions, Chandoo Mondeti revealed interesting details about Karthikeya 3. He said, “I have a fantastic concept for Karthikeya 3. I am fully aware of the responsibility that I have on my shoulders. I have already completed the recce. Lord Krishna gave me so much in life with Karthikeya 2. I need to give it back and show my respect towards him.”
Chandoo Mondeti added, “The third part will also deal with Lord Krishna. I always wanted to tell people about Lord Krishna, and I am glad I began it with Karthikeya 2. Children got to know things about Lord Krishna that they were not aware of earlier. Parents told me that their children asked them about Govardhana Giri. I want to tell more and more stories about our roots and culture.”
