Sonakshi Sinha's upcoming thriller, ‘Nikita Roy and Book of Darkness' went on floors in London and was shot across the Brit capital and other parts of the UK. The film stars Sonakshi alongside Arjun Rampal, Paresh Rawal, and Suhail Nayyar in pivotal roles. The film also marks the directorial debut of Sonakshi's brother Kussh Sinha. The film had a 40-day schedule in London and was wrapped in a record time of mere 35 days.

Talking about it, Sonakshi said, "It was a great shoot and a very special one for me as I got to star in my brothers' first film. The fine ensemble of the film inspired me to do more and better. It was my first time working with Paresh ji and what an honour to share screen space with him. The shoot was challenging and thus so much more enjoyable. I had a great time shooting with this unit."

On his part, Arjun said "Though it was a short shoot for me, it was a very memorable one. It's such a unique character Kussh wanted me to portray. To get so many emotions in a cameo was a challenge, but I think we pulled it off. Sonakshi, I worked with for the first time, she's very relaxed and we had good chemistry. Reuniting with Paresh Rawal was absolutely delightful. London country side is always serene and magical to shoot in. Congratulations to the team for completing the film. Looking forward to the final product."

The veteran actor Paresh Rawal said, "It was such a pleasure to work with young talents of this movie, especially our energetic producers Nicky and Vicky Bhagnani. They've been excellent producers. I found them to be such well-groomed boys. They are artistes who chase their dreams with passion. This is also our director Kussh's first film but we never realised it because he is in so much command of his vision, his craft and knows exactly what to extract from his actors. It's a mark of a great director. This was a great team. It was my first time working with Sonakshi-ji. She is such a sharp actress. Together we explored such an out-of-the-box subject that's treated so well. I can't wait for everyone to watch the movie."

The film is being directed by Kussh S Sinha and is expected to release in 2023.
