Are You Serious About This Comment, Nikhil?

Nikhil Siddhartha, after a true-blue blockbuster like Karthikeya 2, faced two consecutive disappointments with 18 Pages and Spy.

What’s interesting is that Nikhil has repeatedly stated that there were ten days of shooting left for Spy, and the rushed release was the main reason for its failure. However, considering how seriously he keeps reiterating this, one might wonder if he genuinely believes it.

Spy is a thriller with zero standout moments and a dull plot. Even if they had an additional month to work on it, could it really change the fate of the film? How is it possible? Perhaps better VFX work for the hyped Rana’s episode could improve things, but how would it change the overall tiring plot?

Continuous success in the industry is a tough feat, and actors like Nikhil have earned credibility through their thoughtful choices.

While not every film can be a hit, it is important to understand why a film failed rather than resorting to weak excuses.

It’s somewhat surprising to hear Nikhil repeatedly emphasize this point.
