Meanwhile, the actress is gearing up for the release of The Big Bull on Disney + Hoststar. The film also stars Ileana D'Cruz, Soham Shah, Ram Kapoor, Supriya Pathak and Saurabh Shukla. It is based on the life and times of stockbroker Harshad Mehta. Harshad orchestrated the Rs 5000-crore 1992 securities scandal, which led to the exposure of many loopholes in the functioning of the stock market and banks. It is directed by Kookie Gulati and produced by Ajay Devgn and Anand Pandit. We pray Nikita Dutta recovers soon and resumes her pending projects.
