Nikkhil Advani aims to create a war film with SRK

\n
\nIn an exclusive conversation with us, Nikkhil Advani remarked, \"Every filmmaker/storyteller experiences different phases in their career. When I made Kal Ho Na Ho over 20 years ago, we were younger, more optimistic, and love was a central theme for us.\"\n
\nHe went on to share that he and Shah Rukh Khan were developing a narrative focused on terrorism. \"The types of stories I wish to explore now revolve more around legacy, mai kya peeche chor kar jaa raha hu so that people continue to say ki 'Nikkhil Advani ne banaya tha'.\"\n
\nCurrently, he is engaged in an OTT series Freedom At Midnight which is set to return for its second season this month. \n
\n

Nikkhil has wanted to adapt Freedom At Midnight since he read the book, 12-15 years ago...

\n
\nContinuing the discussion, he confidently spoke about his desire to create Freedom At Midnight since he first encountered the book by Dominique Lapierre and Larry Collins. He recalled reading it 12-15 years ago. \"Mai humesha se cahta tha mughe ye mauka mile,\" he concluded. \n
