What is Karthikeya 2 about?

Doctor Karthikeya’s journey to Dwarka becomes a search involving an ancient anklet associated with Krishna. The Telugu film combines a mystery with an adventure built around mythology. Its mythology belongs to the fictional story; it is not evidence for real-world scientific or medical claims. This introduction does not disclose the ending.

ZEE5’s official listing identifies the film as an action, adventure and mystery title and provides the current watch option.

  • Nikhil Siddhartha plays Dr. Karthikeya.
  • Anupama Parameswaran plays Mugdha.
  • Anupam Kher plays Dr. Dhanvanthri Vedpathak.
  • Adithya Menon plays Dr. Santanu Mukherjee.

Chandoo Mondeti directed the film. Kaala Bhairava composed its music, and Karthik Gattamneni handled both cinematography and editing. Abhishek Agarwal Arts and People Media Factory produced it. Character and crew credits are documented in the film’s reference record.

Which film comes first?

Karthikeya (2014) precedes Karthikeya 2 (2022). The two records are separate films, not alternate names for one release. Use that order if you want to follow the series from its beginning.
