About Nikita Roy
Nikita Roy tells the story of a writer named Nikita, whose sibling inexplicably passes away while attempting to unveil a deceitful spiritual leader, Amardev.

Sonakshi Sinha reveals insights into her role as Nikita
Talking about the film, Sonakshi Sinha said, "Nikita felt very real to me from the start. She's dealing with loss, confusion, and a lot of unanswered questions, yet she keeps moving forward. What stayed with me was her quiet strength, the kind that doesn't need to be loud to be powerful. Kussh's direction gave me the space to explore those silences and emotions honestly."
Paresh Rawal as Amar Dev in Nikita Roy
Paresh Rawal added, "I was drawn to how understated this character Amar Dev is. It is a character very different from the ones I've portrayed in the past. He doesn't raise his voice or announce his power, it comes through influence and presence. Playing someone who controls a room without obvious aggression was very interesting for me. I feel a film like this benefits from being watched on JioHotstar, where audiences can really settle in and absorb the details."
