Nikita Roy and Book of Darkness is the directorial debut of Sonakshi Sinha’s brother Kussh. Shooting for Sonakshi Sinha-starrer `Nikita Roy and Book of Darkness` has started in London.

Excited about the shoot, Sonakshi said, “I could barely wait for this day. My brother Kussh is finally helming his first film as a director. It’s a day of great joy and pride for all of us in the family. I’m also excited about the fact that he’s directing me in a film that both of us have loved in our individual capacities.”

The edge-of-the-seat movie will be filmed over 40 days and Sonakshi along with actors Paresh Rawal and Suhail Nayyar will be a part of the schedule.

Meanwhile, the first location where the crew filmed was Watford. Now, they are all set to move base and shoot at a couple of scenic locations in the country.

Earlier, Kussh had stated that he had always been fond of his sister’s acting chops and hoped to work with her one day. “Sonakshi is a talented actor. I have always admired her for doing films that she entirely believed in. I have seen her grow as an actor and her journey in cinema.

Now, I am going to be a part of it, too. When I found this script, I asked Sonakshi to take a look at it. We both felt drawn to the subject and that’s when we decided to take the plunge and work together,” he had said.

Nikita Roy And The Book Of Darkness is produced by Nicky Vicky Bhagnani Films, Kratos Entertainment, Kinjal Ghone of Nikita Pai Films, and Dinesh Gupta of Murliwale Pictures. The film is expected to release in 2023.
