Arjun Rampal Says Doing A Cameo In Nikita Roy Was ‘Truly A Pleasure'
Sonakshi Sinha is preparing for his upcoming psychological thriller Nikita Roy. Earlier this month, the filmmakers released a trailer that promised strong drama, spine-chilling horror moments and interesting narratives. While the actress is seen portraying a powerful character, Arjun Rampal also has a significant cameo in the film. The actor shared a glimpse of his role and expressed how delighted he was to be part of the film.
Arjun Rampal shared a short clip where he appeared to be threatened by some external force. We also see a terrified Sonakshi later in the clip. In the caption, he wrote, 'It was truly a pleasure doing this cameo in #NikitaRoy the young @kusshssinha has made this unique film. With the support of two young boys I know since they were kids, are now young men and producers now. @nickkybhagnani @viickybhagnani all the best. @aslisona @pareshrawalofficial and the whole team thank you for a lovely memory. I do hope this movie finds its audience. Guys go for it. A good horror in the rain with hot samosas. Releasing in theatres on 27th June 2025."
The film is directed by Kussh S Sinha and written by Pavan Kirpalan, with Paresh Rawal and Suhail Nayyar playing significant roles. Nikita Roy investigates the tenuous line between perception and reality, delving into issues such as paranoia, buried secrets, and the darker regions of the human mind. The film's trailer opens with Sonakshi Sinha approaching a frightening mansion in the woods at night, where she encounters demonic creatures. Paresh Rawal plays a phoney spiritual leader who manipulates others, and Sonakshi's character is determined to uncover his true identity within a week. She works together with Arjun Rampal's character to solve a series of murders.
Produced by Nickky Khemchand Bhagnani, Viicky Bhagnani, Ankur Takrani, Dinesh Ratiram Gupta, Kinjal Ashok Ghone and Kratos Entertainment, the film is slated to hit the theatres on June 27.
Meanwhile, Arjun Rampal joined Venkatesh and Rana Daggubati in Raina Naidu 2. The actor plays the menacing villain, Rauf in the show.
