For his directorial debut, Kussh S Sinha has crafted a supernatural thriller, Nikita Roy.

At the centre of this mystery layered with the occult is actor and Kussh's sister Sonakshi Sinha, who plays the titular role. Tell the first-time director that very few supernatural thrillers are centred on women, and he says that a lot of effort went into building Nikita’s character. “Nikita is part of a group of people who want to investigate charlatans. [We set out] by understanding her psychology. What motivates her? Why does she want to be an author? Why does she want to make people realise that they shouldn't believe in the supernatural? All these layers were kept in mind while designing the character,” he shares.
