Sonakshi Sinha Enters the Shadows: ‘Nikita Roy and the Book of Darkness’ Hits Theaters May 2025

Backed by a powerhouse cast and helmed by Kussh S. Sinha, this psychological thriller promises a chilling dive into the human psyche.

A grim expression crosses Sonakshi Sinha’s face in the first look of Nikita Roy and the Book of Darkness, and it’s clear—this isn’t just another thriller. The film’s official poster has been revealed, and with it, a confirmed theatrical release date: May 30, 2025.

Produced by Viicky and Nickky Bhagnani, this psychological thriller brings together an intense ensemble cast featuring Sonakshi Sinha, Arjun Rampal, Paresh Rawal, and Suhail Nayyar. Directed by Kussh S. Sinha, the film blends psychological tension, eerie mysticism, and deep-seated human fears to craft a suspenseful cinematic experience.

Nikita Roy and the Book of Darkness is a presentation of Nikita Pai Films Ltd., and is co-produced by Prakash Nand Bijlani, Shakti Bhatnagar, Mehnaaz Shaikh, Prem Raj Joshi, and Anand Mehta. The script and screenplay come from Pavan Kirpalani, known for his gripping storytelling in the thriller genre (Phobia, Bhoot Police).

Producers Viicky and Nickky Bhagnani shared their enthusiasm, saying, “This film is very close to our hearts. It dares to explore a space mainstream cinema often avoids. With a powerful cast, a gripping narrative, and Kussh’s distinctive vision, we’re thrilled to bring ‘Nikita Roy’ to theaters.”

Sonakshi Sinha wrapped filming in September 2024, with the majority of production taking place across the UK, including London. Initially scheduled for a 40-day shoot, the crew impressively wrapped principal photography in just 35 days, later filming a short two-day sequence in Mumbai.

With its layered story, moody visuals, and a cast ready to plunge into the abyss, Nikita Roy and the Book of Darkness is shaping up to be one of the most talked-about thrillers of 2025.
