Trivia
- The film's title 'Karthikeya' was chosen after considering other names like 'Devudu' and 'Temple', as the team felt it best represented the divine mystery theme.
- Director Chandoo Mondeti drew inspiration from real-life locked temples in India, particularly one in Andhra Pradesh, to craft the central mystery.
- The movie was shot extensively in and around the historic Lepakshi temple in Andhra Pradesh, known for its hanging pillar and ancient architecture.
- This was the second collaboration between lead actors Nikhil Siddharth and Swathi Reddy after the successful 2011 film 'Bheeshma'.
- The film's background score and music by Mickey J. Meyer incorporated traditional Indian instruments to enhance the spiritual and mysterious atmosphere.
- Despite being a moderate-budget film, 'Karthikeya' performed very well at the box office, becoming a profitable venture for its producers.
- A key plot device involving a 'secret chamber' in the temple was inspired by legends and architectural mysteries found in real South Indian temples.
