Nikhil Advani
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Nikhil Advani (Sindhi: निखिल आडवाणी),(Sindhi: نکھل آڏواڻي) is an Indian director working in the Bollywood industry.
He worked under Dharma Productions which was the production house of the late Yash Johar, father of Karan Johar. He was assistant to Karan Johar and was assistant director. He assisted him in his two directorial projects, Kuch Kuch Hota Hai and Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham.
He then went on to direct his first film under Dharma Productions, titled Kal Ho Naa Ho starring Shah Rukh Khan, Preity Zinta, Saif Ali Khan and Jaya Bachchan. The film was the biggest hit of 2003 and firmly established him as a director. The film won six Filmfare awards, but lost out on the best director award.
Nikhil decided to make his next film without Dharma Productions. His script was ready but the film was delayed due to many of the actors dropping out the film. In October he announced the title of the film-Salaam E Ishq: A Tribute To Love. The film has a huge star cast:- Salman Khan, Priyanka Chopra, Sohail Khan, Vidya Balan, John Abraham, Akshaye Khanna, Govinda, Juhi Chawla, Anil Kapoor, Ayesha Takia, Shannon Esra and Anjana Zukhani.
The film was produced by Sunil Manchanda, Mukesh Talreja and Chetan Motiwalla and released on January 25, 2007 to mixed reviews.
