The 51-year-old actor, who quit his successful career of a veterinarian to pursue his passion in acting, said he was just 23-year-old when he was picked for the epic role.
"It is almost after 25 years that I will once again pick the flute and get on the stage. I am a bit nervous as I, at no cost, want to disappoint my fans who have for decades showered me with their love," Nitish said in a statement.
Nitish is also awaiting the release of his Hindi film 'Yaksha' directed by Mukul Abhyankar in which he plays the title role.
