Nikhil is reportedly very self-assured in the movie. However, unlike his previous film karthikeya 2, the actor is unwilling to have a Pan india release for 18 Pages. Nikhil and his team reportedly lack the time needed to properly market and release 18 Pages in Hindi. Following karthikeya 2, Nikhil became well-known in the North. If 18 Pages is released in the North, he will need to devote a lot of time to its promotion. Nikhil does not want to skip promoting the movie in the Telugu-speaking states, where he has a strong following.
Nikhil is also open to the idea of releasing a Hindi-dubbed version of 18 Pages in the future, whether theatrically or online via streaming services, depending on the decision made by the movie's producers. The actor intends to actively promote 18 Pages in the telugu states alongside Anupama. The movie, which is billed as an emotional love story, is claimed to feature some unexpected components for the viewers. We'll have to wait and see if Nikhil can do the magic once more. The release date they are aiming for is december 23.
