Nikhil tells Monica, Aksha to call him 'brother'

Nikhil, who debuted in Sekhar Kammula's Happy Days, has done two great movies: Ankit, Pallavi & Friends (APF) and Yuvatha. Though APF had a good script, it did not do well at the box office; Yuvatha, a slow starter at the box-office, is doing fairly well.

But Nikhil is now facing trouble from another quarter. Gossip mongers are revelling in spreading stories of his numerous affairs with his co-stars. It seems that Nikhil (who so far has had a boy-next-door image) is very upset. Insiders say that he is now requesting his heroines, Monal and Aksha, to call him 'brother'! He hopes that at least now, people will stop spreading rumours about him and his heroines.

Nikhil's career is slowly but steadily climbing the rungs of success as he has�3-4 films on hand. Basanthi, one of his forthcoming movies is to be directed by Danthuluri Chaithanya. He also has a film that will be co-produced by Aaskar Films Pvt. Ltd. and AVM Productions.
