Nikkhil claimed that while everyone thought south Indian films were all about mythology, they were actually about creating heroism in rooted situations. He said, “Everyone thinks of south cinema being mythology, but they take a raw emotion. Like water irrigation canals…let’s make a film about it. Now, they package that with incredible action and incredible moments of heroism.”

He also shared that when he met Arjun to discuss a film, he was told Bollywood had ‘forgotten heroism’. He said, “When I met Allu Arjun, and we were talking about doing a film, he looked at me and said, you know what’s wrong with Bollywood? You’ve forgotten how to be heroes. It’s not mythology; it’s heroism that’s missing in Hindi films.”

Nikkhil’s Vedaa, starring John Abraham and Sharvari, will be released in theatres on August 15. Incidentally, Arjun’s Pushpa 2: The Rule was also supposed to be released on the same date, but the release has been delayed to December.

Recently, the team of Vedaa shared a note claiming that the CBFC had delayed in certifying the film ‘despite best efforts’. They claimed to have applied for certification after screening the film to the CBFC on June 25. A couple of days ago, the film was finally certified U/A without cuts.

Arjun will reprise his role as Pushpa Raj for the sequel of Sukumar’s Pushpa: The Rise, titled Pushpa 2: The Rule. The film will also see Rashmika Mandanna and Fahash Faasil reprising their roles as Srivalli and Bhanwar Singh Shekawat.
