New Delhi:
Kussh S Sinha is all set to mark his directorial debut with Nikita Roy, led by his sister, actor Sonakshi Sinha. During the promotions, Kussh S Sinha spoke about his bond with Sonakshi Sinha. He also made a statement regarding their alleged ‘sibling rivalry’ impacting the process of filmmaking.
What’s Happening
- Sonakshi Sinha is gearing up for the release of Nikita Roy, the film is helmed by debut director and her brother Kussh S Sinha.
- Kussh S Sinha told Hindustan Times, “On set, I was very clear that she is an actor – and that to someone who has done multiple films, toh unka anubhav bhi hai (so she has the experience). So I had to keep that in mind and give her the respect as an actor. And I do it with everybody – mere rishtedaar ho ya naa ho (whether they are my relatives or not). We all know actors don’t have a shortage of work. They are being offered scripts every week, so anybody who chooses to be a part of your film – you should treat them with respect.”
- Pressing on how it was essential to cast an actress who is right for the titular role in the film, Kussh S Sinha added, “The script came to me first, but you tell me – if you know Sonakshi Sinha and you know how good an actor she is, wouldn’t you cast her? I knew she was my sister and it was easy, but it was important to cast someone who was right for the role, and I think Sonakshi has done an amazing job portraying Nikita Roy. Even as a woman, you’ll be happy to see that there’s no mansplaining going on with the female character, and she is holding her own completely – not just subscribing to gender stereotypes. I think Sonakshi did justice to all these aspects
