Filmmaker Nikhil Advani has his hands full currently. While his upcoming directorial venture Hero is in the final stages of post-production, he's simultaneously filming Katti Batti, featuring Imran Khan and Kangana Ranaut.Besides juggling these two movies as a director, he's also managed to find time to see his next production, Airlift, starring Akshay Kumar, take off.

Airlift marks a milestone for his now four-year-old production house, Emmay Entertainment & Motion Pictures - it's his first production that he's not directing. Impressed by a one-page brief by director Raja Menon, Nikhil is pulling out all stops to make the movie that is based on true life events. The film has Nimrat Kaur teaming up with Akshay for the first time.

Saurabh Shukla's psychological thriller, which is currently being scripted, will also go on the floors later this year.

About his strategies as a producer, Nikhil says, “Production is an art that my partners and I are committed to mastering.We're grateful to our backers, who are the sustainers of our work philosophies. Above all, we're determined to present our actors in the best way possible.“
