Abhimanyu
Dassani,
after
his
debut
film,
Mard
Ko
Dard
Nahi
Hota,
is
all
set
to
return
to
the
screen
with
Shilpa
Shetty
and
Shirley
Setia.
The
film,
Nikamma,
will
be
Shilpa's
big
return
to
the
screen
after
13
years
of
gap,
and
it
will
also
mark
Shirley's
Bollywood
debut.
Abhimanyu,
during
an
interview
with
ET,
spilled
the
beans
about
the
film
and
his
co-stars
Talking
about
his
shooting
experience
with
the
ace
actress,
Shilpa
Shetty,
Dassani
said,
"I
had
a
lovely
experience
shooting
for
Nikamma
with
Shilpa
ma'am.
She
is
absolutely
wonderful.
Not
just
as
a
co-actor,
but
off
the
sets
also
she
has
helped
me
a
lot.
And
I
feel
this
is
why
she
is
a
legend.
That
is
one
of
the
reasons
she
has
survived
all
these
years
in
the
industry."
"She
was
one
of
the
firsts
to
get
those
YouTube
videos
and
the
health
app
out.
She
is
an
absolute
hustler.
I
am
happy
to
work
with
her
and
learn
as
much
as
I
can." he
added.
Talking
about
the
film,
Nikamma
which
is
a
romantic
action
comedy,
and
Abhimanyu's
debut
film,
Mard
Ko
Dard
Nahi
Hota,
also
belonged
to
a
similar
genre.
When
asked
about
receiving
awards
for
his
debut
film,
Dassani
said
it
felt
like
all
of
their
work
was
validated,
"I
received
an
award
for
the
film
even
before
the
film
was
released-
International
Best
Young
Actor
award
at
Macau.
So
it
was
validated
back
then
by
international
directors
and
producers
so
that
felt
really
good.
It
felt
like
I
am
taking
something
back
for
the
team
because
so
many
people
put
in
a
lot
into
the
film
and
they
all
deserved
it."
Abhimanyu
also
revealed
that
he
is
excited
about
his
second
project,
which
is
an
out-and-out
commercial
film.
He
has
already
bagged
his
third
project
titled,
Aankh
Micholi,
which
is
a
comedy
film.
Talking
about
it
he
added,
"I
think
the
genres
of
my
films
show
my
range
as
an
actor.
I
challenge
myself
every
time."
Nikamma
has
been
delayed
due
to
the
Coronavirus
pandemic.
The
film,
directed
by
Sabbir
Khan
and
produced
under
the
banner
of
Sony
Pictures
Networks
India
and
