Sonakshi Sinha ’s film Nikita Roy was originally slated to hit theatres yesterday, but the release has been postponed. The decision was made to steer clear of a crowded release week that included star-studded films, F1: The Movie, Kannappa and Maa. The announcement was shared by the filmmakers and Sonakshi on Instagram.
In a quick chat about the decision to push the film ahead and how she thinks it’s the right way to go, Sonakshi says, “It was in the interest of the film. We want a wider audience for our film.”
‘Films getting pushed is nothing new and I don’t think it is a big deal’

The actress also pointed out that such changes aren’t uncommon in the industry. “Humse pehle bhi kayi filmien aise push hui hai. Ajay sir’s (Devgn) film Auron Mein Kahan Dum Tha too, was pushed to avoid a clash with Kalki 2898 AD. So, films getting pushed is nothing new and I don’t think it is a big deal.”

‘I am going to watch Maa’

One of the films that would have clashed with Nikita Roy had it released this week, is Maa headlined by Kajol . Talking about how excited she is about watching it this week, she says, “Kajol is someone I’ve looked up to and admired. She’s a fantastic actress and a lovely person. It was a coincidence that both our films are in the supernatural space. I am going to watch it. I really enjoyed the trailer and she’s looking phenomenal in the film.”
