When I am taking help of Salman and Aamir for a film, it doesn’t mean that I am demeaning myself as a director. They give me a feel that it is a collaborative effort. Rishi Kapoor and Raj Kapoor used to show their films to watchman so who am I? I have learnt all these things from them,” he added.

He also shared his thoughts on Shah Rukh Khan and his wonderful acting. Nikhil said, “I think the greatest strength that Shah Rukh has an actor is when he approaches a scene he knows he is going to be fantastic, but he tries how to make everybody else fantastic. He is very selfless as an actor. They (Khans) choose their directors, directors don’t choose them.”

Talking about the films, Kangana Ranaut and Imran Khan have geared up with the promotions of Katti Batti. The film is all set to release on September 18, 2015.
