Is Nikhil Advani's next production 'Lucknow Central' a comedy?

Director Nikhil Advani has revealed that his next home production Lucknow Central is a comedy film.

The film is produced under the banner of Emmay Entertainment and will mark the directorial debut of Ranjit Tiwari, Ranjit has previously worked as an associate director for Nikhil in movies like Katti Batti, Hero and D-Day.

"It is a comedy film. The story is set in Lucknow, it has nothing to do with Lucknow," says Nikhil, whose last outing as co-producer of Airlift was a hit. "We have locked the script. We are yet to finalise actors for this film. Work is in progress," the D-Day helmer told PTI.

The film will start rolling in November this year. Besides, Nikhil is busy working on his own directorial venture Bazaar which reportedly is about power, obsession, and a tumultuous relationship between two men and the stock market. There were reports that Akshay Kumar would be doing the film but Nikhil clarified, "It was never supposed to be with Akshay."

Earlier, the 45-year-old director narrated the idea to Hrithik Roshan and since work on the script was going on, the Bang Bang star was apparently yet to take a call.

The film will go on floors this December.
