Bollywood actress Sonakshi Sinha has officially made her return to the digital screen with ‘Nikita Roy’, a high-stakes horror-mystery now available for streaming on JioHotstar. The film marks the directorial debut of Kussh S. Sinha and features a powerhouse ensemble cast including Paresh Rawal, Arjun Rampal, and Suhail Nayyar.
The narrative of Nikita Roy explores the profound tension between rational logic and the supernatural. Sonakshi Sinha plays the titular character, a staunch rationalist who has dedicated her career to debunking myths and superstitions. However, her world is turned upside down following the mysterious death of her brother. What starts as a quest for logical answers soon descends into an eerie investigation where Nikita must confront inexplicable events that challenge her core beliefs.
Paresh Rawal, portraying the character Amar Dev, brings a layer of quiet intensity to the film. Rawal described his role as a departure from his usual repertoire, focusing on subtle influence rather than overt aggression. The film’s psychological depth is enhanced by the presence of Arjun Rampal, adding further gravitas to a story driven by grief and deception.
Produced by a collaborative team including Kinjal Ashok Ghone, Nicky Bhagnani, and Kussh S. Sinha, the film leverages the vast reach of the JioHotstar platform to engage fans of the psychological horror genre. Sonakshi Sinha noted that the role allowed her to explore complex emotional layers, moving beyond traditional horror tropes to deliver a character defined by quiet strength and vulnerability. As Nikita digs deeper into the mystery, the film keeps audiences guessing whether the threats she faces are of this world or the next.
