HYDERABAD: Actor Nikhil Siddhartha, who plays the lead in director Bharat Krishnamachari's upcoming period film 'Swayambhu', has now shed light on the powerful historical and cultural foundation that forms the backbone of the film’s narrative.

Nikhil has disclosed that the film 'Swayambhu' draws inspiration from the Sengol, an ancient emblem that represents righteous governance, justice, and moral authority.

Speaking about the core idea of the film, Nikhil said, “Swayambhu is a story derived from a very special and very unique aspect of Indian history which is the history of Sengol. We all popularly know Sengol as something that was carried by honourable Prime Minister Narendra Modi during the inauguration of the Indian Parliament and is installed in the new parliament building. However, not many know the rich history behind the Sengol."
