Fighter actor Nishant Kkhanduja joins Aryan Khan's directorial debut; says, 'He exactly knows how to explain scenes' (Exclusive)

Actor Nishant Kkhanduja was recently seen alongside Hritik Roshan and Deepika Padukone in Siddharth Anand's Fighter. While Nishant is currently basking in the laurels of that movie, he is soon set to be a part of another highly anticipated project. We have exclusively learnt that Nishant would be seen in Shah Rukh Khan's son Aryan Khan's directorial debut. While not much is known about the cast and details about the project, Nishant also remains tight lipped about it.

However, the Fighter actor talks about Aryan and his work ethics. He says, "Aryan Khan exactly knows how to explain scenes and hence makes the work much easier. His vocabulary is too good. And that’s what he uses to explain scenes… Rather than showing a reference video, he narrates using words that helps an actor to imagine through and give their best foot."

Nishant, who has been part of Jamai 2.0, Criminal Justice 2.0, Pati, Patni Aur Wo, and other projects was recently seen in Fighter and was appreciated for his performance. While talking about his stint in the action flick, he adds, "Fighter’s success is a cumulation of everyone’s hardwork… The film will always be very close to me."

Coming back to Aryan's directorial debut, the six-episode digital series is tentatively titled Stardom. The series which is currently in the filming stage, is set against the backdrop of the film industry. The script has been penned by Aryan himself and the project is being produced by Shah Rukh's home production house.
