Nikita Roy Movie: Supernatural Space Still Untapped In India, Says Producer Nickky Bhagnani
"The Supernatural space is still untapped in India. Nikita Roy was always envisioned as something different. It's not just about jump scares or horror elements — it's a thriller that taps into the fear of the unknown," said Bahgnani.
Talking about convincing Paresh Rawal for the role, Bhagnani said, "Honestly, not at all. When we approached Paresh sir with the script, he instantly connected with the story and the uniqueness of his character. He's always open to experimenting with roles that challenge him as an actor, and Nikita Roy offered exactly that."
Sharing his views about the response to the trailer, he said that the team has received appreciation not just from audiences, but from the industry as well.
"We wanted to create something that stays with the audience even after they leave the cinema hall. Nikita Roy isn't just a film you watch it's an experience that lingers. With its intense storyline, supernatural depth, and haunting visual world, it offers a gripping cinematic journey that blends suspense with emotional resonance," said Bhagnani.
Nikita Roy is produced under Nicky Vicky Bhagnani Films and Nikita Pai Films Ltd., with release by Baweja Studios in association with Bliss Entertainment, Movies PTE Limited, and Karmic Films. Nikita Roy is slated for a nationwide theatrical release on 27th June 2025.

Directed by Kush S Sinha, the film, despite getting positive reviews, failed to perform at the box office. This could be a result of its big box office clash with Mohit Suri's musical romantic drama, Saiyaara. Up next, she will be seen in the Telugu thriller film Jatadhara opposite actor Sudheer Babu. Zaheer, on the other hand, was last seen in a special cameo role in Aayush Sharma's action thriller film, Ruslaan. He is yet to announce his next project.

Kussh S Sinha blames Saiyaara wave for Sonakshi Sinha's Nikita Roy's box office failure, says Anupam Kher's Tanvi The Great film was pulled out of theatres: 'We tried to get more screens but...'
While Mohit Suri's Saiyaara took a bumper opening, the other two films failed to create any kind of buzz at the box office. read more Sonakshi Sinha's brother Kussh S Sinha, who made his directorial debut with Nikita Roy featuring his sister and Paresh Rawal, shared that his supernatural thriller failed at the box office of Saiyaara wave. For the unversed, three Bollywood films arrived together on 18th July - Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda starrer _Saiyaara_, Anupam Kher's Tanvi The Great and Nikita Roy. While Mohit Suri's directorial took a bumper opening, the other two films failed to create any kind of buzz at the box office. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD 'We tried to get more screens, but sometimes, some films are swept along by a wave. At the same time, whichever theatre chains we've spoken to, they've seen the merit in the film and they've held on to it. Three films were released on the same day, and while everybody knows that the film had a record-breaking performance, the other film was pulled back from theatres and our screens have increased by 40%–50%,' said Kussh in an interview with Dainik Bhaskar. He also responded to Saiyaara being accused of being a copy of a Korean movie, A Moment to Remember, and added, 'Nobody anticipated this wave, and box office results aren't in our hands. I'm happy that a romantic film starring two newcomers has done so well. There have been discussions, but that is for them to answer. It's up to them to clear their names. But I've always been clear that I want to tell original stories, and if I ever do a remake, it will be an official remake. Others might not share this point of view, and that's up to them.' Also starring Arjun Rampal and Suhail Nayyar in prominent roles, Nikita Roy turned out to be a box office disaster with a collection of below under Rs 1 crore.
