Shilpa Shetty, who will be back on the big screen after a hiatus of 13 years with Nikamma, announced that the film will be out on June 5, 2020.

Shilpa Shetty has announced that her comeback film, Nikamma, will hit the theatres on June 5, 2020. She also shared the first look, featuring Abhimanyu Dassani and debutante Shirley Setia, on her Instagram account.

Directed by Sabbir Khan, Nikamma marks Shilpa’s return to the big screen after a sabbatical of 13 years. Her last major Bollywood release was Anil Sharma’s Apne in 2007, though she has been active on the small screen.

Nikamma also marks Sabbir’s foray into production. He will co-produce the film under his banner Sabbir Khan Films along with Sony Pictures.
