Nikhil Siddhartha thanks fans for support, apologizes for limited release of 'Spy'

Actor Nikhil Siddhartha, on Wednesday, expressed his gratitude to his fans on Twitter for their overwhelming support and turnout at the theaters for his latest film, 'Spy.' The actor also took the opportunity to address the disappointment caused by the limited multi-language release of the movie across India due to contract and content delay issues. He apologized to the Hindi, Kannada, Tamil, and Malayalam audience for the inconvenience and assured them that future films would have a proper release in all languages.

In his heartfelt note, Nikhil Siddhartha acknowledged the trust that his fans have placed in him, which has resulted in the highest opening of his career at the box office. He expressed immense happiness in knowing that his audience believes in him.
