Actress Shilpa Shetty added: "I am glad our film 'Nikamma' has a release date set and I cannot wait for audiences to see me in another avatar. As an actress, it is great to be back in the theatres after a hiatus of 15 years.
"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."Abhimanyu revealed that he is happy the film is getting a theatrical release."They say good things take time, I believe the same when it comes to 'Nikamma'. Working on this film has been an adventure. I'm glad we chose to wait for a theatrical release for it. 'Nikamma' is a total family entertainer that is best enjoyed in a community viewing experience of a theatre with popcorn and samosas."Shirley has been waiting for this day to arrive and that she is elated and thankful for our makers to make this happen and at the right time.'Nikamma' is produced by Sony Pictures Films India and Sabbir Khan Films.
