Nishikant Kamat was also a very popular director of Marathi films. He had called up the shots for hits such as Riteish Deshmukh star ‘Lai Bhaari’ and also Swwapnil Joshi’s ‘Fugay’. A close friend of Nishikant’s Sharad Kelkar had previously told ETimes, “Nishikant was one of those friends who gave me the opportunity to work in ‘Lai Bhaari’. Rather than director, he was a very good friend of mine. We know each other from last 13 to 14. He has a very special place in my life. ”
