Nikhil never imagined that 'Karthikeya 2' would take him to the 100 crore club. Now he has to preserve the super hit Josh that this film gave, which implies that Nikhil's upcoming films should not be flops. According to sources, this tension is troubling Nikhil.

Nikhil's current focus is on his upcoming films '18 Pages' and 'Spy.' Sukumar penned 18 pages. 'Kumari 21F fame,'  Surya Pratap directed the film, which will be released under the Geetha Arts banner. However, due to Nikhil's increased popularity, various changes have been made to the script, and the film is being re-shot.

According to sources, the reason for this is that Sukumar, who wrote the story for the film, was dissatisfied with the final version and stated that the alterations were done with Nikhil's approval. Furthermore, it is claimed that there is no mention of '18 pages' in the interviews given to media following 'Karthikeya 2', giving credence to the rushed news.

Nikhil is also looking over Spy, which is directed by Garry BH. Anyway, following the phenomenal success of 'Karthikeya 2,' Nikhil is under pressure not to witness another disaster.
