Happy studios backing content-driven cinema: Nikhil Advani

“I’m so happy that Bollywood is making such films, ‘Neerja’ is releasing on Friday, ‘Aligarh’ is releasing next week and my production company had released ‘Airlift’ a month back. So I’m very happy that… studios are backing such films,” he said at the event.
