Director
Nikhil
Advani
made
a
great
start
with
Kal
Ho
Naa
Ho
(1993),
directing
for
Karan
Johar's
home
banner,
Dharma
Productions.
But
his
first
attempt
to
break
away
from
Karan's
shadow,
Salaam-E-Ishq,
ended
in
a
failure.
However,
the
big-canvas
director
is
undeterred
and
is
now
moving
on
to
his
next
few
projects,
starting
with
his
big-budgeted
animation
film,
about
which
we
have
already
told
you.
Next
on
the
anvil
for
Nikhil
is
the
Akshay
Kumar-Deepika
Padukone
project,
tentatively
titled,
Mera
Naam
Chin
Chin
Choo.
The
action
flick
may
well
be
shot
in
Shanghai,
China,
but
only
next
year
and
as
early
as
January.
The
actual
shooting
date
will
depend
on
Akshay's
availability
as
the
much
in
demand
star
will
first
shoot
for
Nagesh
Kukunoor's
sci-fi
thriller,
Tasveer
(in
September)
and
Yash
Raj's
action
extravaganza,
Tashan.
