Nikulnikov recalls the films “Gypsy” and “The Return of Budulai” with warmth, because the role of the son of Claudius brought him all-Union fame and love of the audience. “ That was my movie debut, ” the artist recalled. “ I studied at the Rostov art school in Rostov . One day the second director of the film“ Gypsy ”came to us, saw me in a student play, and soon the call came to the shooting. The school’s leadership set a tough condition: study or a film. I didn’t hesitate to write a letter of expulsion and went off to shoot. True, my student friends and many teachers defended me, so I still graduated from college in 1980 .

The debut, admittedly, was very successful. Vanya liked the audience. Who helped to play so masterfully for sure: talent, director, chance?

- First of all, my great partner Klara Luchko ! On the set, Klara Stepanovna treated me maternally warmly and gently, prompted, and even showed how to play this or that episode. She accepted me not so much as a partner - which of me, a guy who was not "shot at" by cinema, was a partner! - rather, like a son. After all, before that I was not familiar with the features of the filming process, everything was out of the ordinary, and much was incomprehensible. Klara Stepanovna, figuratively speaking, took her hand tightly and led her into the cinematic world. At that time, as a young woman, I still did not realize why she treated me like that, and only years later I realized: Klara Stepanovna saw in me perhaps the unborn son she dreamed of ... She was a truly great actress, and this remains for me - the most important person, and not only in art, but also in life. "
