There are only a few filmmakers in the Indian entertainment industry who have transcended boundaries and gone on to shine abroad with their art. With their remarkable work, they have not only created wonders in India but also achieved great success internationally. While the legendary filmmaker Shekhar Kapur is one such personality who has delivered extraordinary cinema both in India and abroad, in this generation, Nikhil Bhat has emerged as a director who is now making waves globally, having already proven his mettle in Indian cinema.

Talent speaks for itself, and it knows no boundaries. Shekhar Kapur is a name Indian cinema can never forget. He is the man behind cult classics like Masoom, the National Award-winning Bandit Queen, and Mr. India, just to name a few. While he profoundly shaped the canvas of Indian cinema with his stellar work, he went on to achieve further international prominence with the 1998 period film Elizabeth, a fictionalized account of the reign of British Queen Elizabeth I, which was nominated for seven Academy Awards. He later directed the war drama The Four Feathers (2002), followed by Elizabeth: The Golden Age (2007), the sequel to his 1998 film. As one of a kind, Kapur remains among the rare Indian filmmakers to create waves globally with his craft. Now, Nikhil Bhat is emerging as yet another creative force preparing to leave his mark abroad with his upcoming venture.

Nikhil Bhat grabbed global attention with the Karan Johar and Guneet Monga-produced action thriller Kill. While the film emerged as a massive success, few could have guessed that Nikhil would soon be taking his next step into Hollywood. All set for his international debut, the director has been in talks with the heads of Universal Studios for a while now, and things have finally been set in motion. He is gearing up to make his Hollywood debut with a global action film, which is currently in the scripting stage. Sounds exciting? Absolutely, after all, this is Nikhil’s most ambitious project yet, one that will certainly put both him and India on the global map.

This is indeed a fast and impressive trajectory that Nikhil Bhat is carving out as a director from India. He will not only be taking on a mega project abroad but also collaborating with international stars. This undoubtedly marks a new chapter in his career, and it’s fair to say he truly deserves it. Now, the excitement is at its peak to see what he will bring to audiences with his international venture.
