The trailer of 'Nikamma' starring Abhimanyu Dassani, Shirley Setia and Shilpa Shetty was unveiled at a multiplex in the Juhu area of Mumbai on Tuesday. The film has been directed by Sabbir Khan, who has earlier directed films like 'Kambakkht Ishq', Tiger Shroff's debut vehicle 'Heropanti', and 'Baaghi'. The trailer launch began with a special AV which showed Abhimanyu battling his way to the theatre audi as the security personnel failed to recognise him as the film's male lead.

Later, as he made the dramatic entry at the event, he revealed that AV was inspired from a real life occurrence when the security personnel at the Toronto International Film Festival stopped him from entering the premiere of his debut film 'Mard Ko Dard Nahi Hota' as they didn't realise that he was the hero of the film. The event also saw a special video message from Shilpa's mother Sunanda on the occasion of the actress's return to the big screen after a period of 14 years. The video left Shilpa teary-eyed.

'Nikamma' is touted to be the action entertainer of the year, bringing Abhimanyu in a fierce and full of action avatar. Commenting at the trailer launch of his film, Abhimanyu said in a statement, "'Nikamma' made me a hero from an actor. It symbolises what Bollywood stands for - entertainment to its best. The film appealed to me with its wholesome package of emotions, from action, romance, comedy to drama, the film holds you at its core."
