Abhimanyu Dassani, the son of former Bollywood actress Bhagyashree, received positive response for his debut film Mard Ko Dard Nahi Hota (2019), which also featured Gulshan Devaiah and Radhika Madan in lead roles. Though the action-comedy did not commercially fare well, the debutant actor did receive good response for his performance in it.
The latest we hear that Abhimanyu Dassani has bagged his second film. Titled Nikamma, the movie will be an out-and-out action entertainer. Filmmaker Sabbir Khan, who is known for his blockbuster action entertainers such as Heropanti (2014) and Baaghi (2016), will helm the project.
