Though reluctant to reveal much about the three projects Nikhil Advani adds, "Currently we have locked scripts for all three and will be commencing the casting for the projects." When further prodded about him producing the three ventures, Nikhil says, "As for now I won't say that I am producing them, because everything is so dependent on several factors so I do not want to say that I am producing any film till the time it comes for release. Instead I will say that I am developing all three films." Further talking about his own directorial venture Bazaar , Nikhil adds, "Yes Bazaar is also in process. I have finished scripting it and will start casting by the end of next week. As for this film it is a joint production between Emmay Entertainment and Balaji".
