Birthdays usually mean cake and celebrations, but [Kartikeya Gummakonda](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kartikeya_Gummakonda) chose to mark his 34th with something far bigger — the announcement of his directorial debut. The *RX100* and *Valimai* star has officially unveiled his 10th film, and this time, he’s not just in front of the camera.

## Kartikeya10 Big Announcement: Come Back

On September 21, 2026, Kartikeya dropped the title glimpse for his 10th film, officially titled **“Come Back.”** The teaser shows him in a boxing avatar, playing a man returning to the ring after three years away from the sport — a fitting metaphor, given this is also Kartikeya’s own comeback to the big screen after a two-year gap.

The announcement was made under his own production banner, **Kartikeya Creative Works**, and marks a major career pivot: this is his debut as both **director and writer**.

## A True Family Affair

What makes this project even more personal is that Kartikeya’s wife, **Lohitha Reddy**, is producing the film — making *Come Back* a genuine husband-wife collaboration. The shoot is currently underway, with the film expected to release sometime in 2027.

## Why This Comeback Matters?

Kartikeya first won hearts with the surprise blockbuster *RX100* in 2018 and went on to earn recognition for his role in the Tamil hit *Valimai* alongside Ajith Kumar. He was last seen on screen in *Bhaje Vaayu Vegam*, directed by Prashanth Reddy. Stepping behind the camera now, with a story about resilience and second chances, feels like a natural extension of his own journey back to the spotlight.
