Nikkhil Advani recently reflected on his fallout with Karan Johar after directing the highly acclaimed film 'Kal Ho Naa Ho', which led to skepticism about his directorial capabilities. Following this controversy, he expressed gratitude towards Salman Khan, who he described as a 'messiah' for offering him support and guidance during this difficult period. Advani admitted that his subsequent film 'Salaam-e-Ishq' was an attempt to prove his worth, driven by what he called 'arrogance', as he aimed to direct six distinct love stories inspired by various iconic filmmakers. Despite the ambitious project, 'Salaam-e-Ishq' did not perform well at the box office, but Advani eventually found a new direction with projects involving Akshay Kumar. As he prepares for the release of his upcoming film 'Vedaa', Nikkhil's journey underscores the ups and downs of navigating the Bollywood industry.
