Bollywood actress Sonakshi Sinha is all set to star in her brother, Kussh S Sinha's directorial venture titled 'Nikita Roy and The Book of Darkness'.

Besides sharing the exciting news, the actress also dropped a spooky new poster. "I'm looking forward to sharing screen space with the dynamic and Paresh Rawal and Suhail Nayyar," the actress said in the caption.

Talking about the film, Sonakshi said in a statement, "Kussh and I wanted to collaborate for the right kind of project. Finally, we found something that we both liked and were excited about."

Kussh, on the other hand, went gaga about his sister and said, "Sonakshi is a talented actor. I have always admired her for doing films that she entirely believed in. I have seen her grow as an actor and her journey in cinema. Now, I am going to be a part of it, too."

Revealing how he got her to sign on for his film, he said, "When I found this script, I asked Sonakshi to take a look at it. We both felt drawn to the subject and that’s when we decided to take the plunge and work together. I am looking forward to working with talented artistes such as Paresh Rawal ji, Sonakshi and Suhail Nayyar. It’s also a fabulous opportunity for my team at Kratos Entertainment to collaborate with Nicky Bhagnani and Vicky Bhagnani. They’ve been our friends for years and this project is a natural extension of that relationship. It’s a complete win-win for all of us."

Although much about the upcoming film, including its plot has been kept under wraps, 'Nikita Roy and The Book of Darkness' is slated for a 2023 release.
