NIKAMMA GETS A RELEASE DATE

Shilpa Shetty’s last film release was a comedy-drama, Hungama 2, which was released on Disney+ Hotstar in 2021. Now the actress is ready for theaters with action artist, Nikamma. Sharing a sweet video with the film crew, Shilpa wrote on Instagram, “Ab intezaar khatam aur entertainment Shuru! Mark your calendars guys ‘Nikamma’ is releasing at a THEATER near you June 17, 2022 (sic)!”

NIKAMMA WAS THE FIRST FILM TO SHILPA SAY YES AFTER HER SABBATICAL

Shilpa was last seen on the big screen in the 2007 film Apne. Then she chose Nikamma after staying away from screens for over a decade. Speaking about the film, Shilpa Shetty said in a statement: “This is the first film I said yes to after my sabbatical, and I was won over by Sabbir’s mastery of the craft and the unusual and thrilling part he had to offer. Avni was one of my most challenging roles to date, but also one that I loved playing until the very end. I can’t wait for people to enjoy Nikamma in theaters .

Director Sabbir Khan added, “The whole team has been waiting very patiently for good times for the world and I’m just happy to see our film finally hitting theaters, which is what the film was made for. Abhimanyu and Shirley’s new couple will surprise everyone, with Shilpa in a totally different avatar. I hope the audience will show the same love for Abhi and Shirley that they did for Tiger and Kriti in their Heropanti debut.
