Filmmaker Nikkhil Advani has expressed admiration for Bollywood superstar Salman Khan, referring to him as the 'messiah' of the film industry, but revealed that he is reluctant to direct him again due to the immense pressure to deliver blockbuster hits exceeding Rs 300 crores. In a candid interview, Advani stated that Salman feels bad if his films do not meet this financial benchmark, which creates a burden he prefers to avoid. He emphasized his desire to work on projects he is passionate about without the stress of high box office expectations. Despite their successful collaborations on films like Salaam-e-Ishq and Hero, Advani values his peace of mind over the potential financial success of a Salman Khan film. Currently, Nikkhil is focused on his upcoming release, Vedaa, which stars John Abraham and is set to clash with other major films on August 15. Meanwhile, Salman is engaged in new projects, including a film with Sajid Nadiadwala and AR Murugadoss.
