Shilpa Shetty, Abhimanyu Dassani and Shirley Setia’s Nikamma now has a release date. The film will hit the theatres on June 17. Directed by Sabbir Khan, the film marks Shilpa Shetty’s return to the big screen after 15 years.

Shilpa Shetty’s last film release was comedy drama, Hungama 2, which was released on Disney+Hotstar in 2021. Now, the actress is ready for the theatres with the action entertainer, Nikamma. Sharing a cute video with the film’s team, Shilpa wrote on Instagram, “Ab intezaar khatam aur entertainment Shuru! Mark your calendars guys ‘Nikamma’ is releasing in a THEATRE close to you on the 17th June 2022 (sic)!”

Shilpa was last seen on the big screen in 2007 film Apne. Then she chose Nikamma after remaining away from the screens for more than a decade. Talking about the film, Shilpa Shetty said in a statement, “It’s the first film I said yes to after my sabbatical, and I was convinced by Sabbir’s grasp on the craft and the unusual and exciting part he had to offer. Avni has been one of my most challenging roles yet, but also a part I enjoyed playing to the hilt. Can’t wait for people to enjoy Nikamma in the theatres.”

Director Sabbir Khan added, “The whole team has been waiting very patiently for the times to be right for the world and I am just happy to see our film finally getting a theatrical release, which is what the film was conceived for. The fresh new pairing of Abhimanyu and Shirley will surprise everyone, with Shilpa in a totally different avatar. I hope that the audiences will show the same love for Abhi and Shirley as they had done for Tiger and Kriti in their debut Heropanti.”
