Overview

• Nicky Vicky Bhagnani Films announced on June 26 that Nikita Roy will now open on July 18 instead of June 27 to secure more screens.
• Producers cited advice from distributors, exhibitors and industry colleagues who warned that competing releases could limit the film’s reach.
• The delay pulls the movie out of direct competition with Kajol’s horror drama Maa, Akshay Kumar’s Kannappa and Brad Pitt’s F1.
• Directed by Kussh S Sinha in his filmmaking debut, Nikita Roy stars Sonakshi Sinha alongside Paresh Rawal, Arjun Rampal and Suhail Nayyar.
• Despite commanding higher pre-release interest on BookMyShow than Maa, the team opted to postpone the launch to give the film a broader theatrical window.
