जीरो बेस बजटAppearing on Siddharth Kannan’s YouTube channel, Nikitin said that his experience on Jodhaa Akbar nearly made him quit acting, and that he was disillusioned by the industry following what happened. He said that he was fortunate to have been signed for a role in the film Mission Istanbul, because he had a blast working on the project. His experience on Jodhaa Akbar, on the other hand, convinced him to never sign a project with people he doesn’t admire or like in real life.This was followed by some predictable jokes about Anil Kapoor refusing to age and his constant need for praise. The guests shared personal experiences from working together on various films and how they both ended up referring to each other as ‘Papaji,’ inspired by filmmaker Vidhu Vinod Chopra’s self-affirming term. During the conversation, Chunky Panday made an appearance as the ‘most stingy person’ in the film industry. Farah called him to ask if he could lend her Rs 500, but he craftily dodged the request.
