There are actors who play strong characters, and then there are actors who redefine what strength on screen looks like. For Anushka Shetty, Ghaati promises to be that redefining milestone. Her character Sheelavathi is not the queenly, ornamental presence we’ve admired before in some of her previous films. Instead, she is uncompromising, a storm carved out of earth and stone.
The trailer presenting a woman walking steadily, holding a sickle, unfazed by violence, carrying a head as though carrying a message. It was disturbing, riveting, and strangely empowering all at once, cinema that challenges comfort zones.
The trailer dug deeper into this tension. Instead of relying on grandeur, the film showcases Sheelavathi’s raw embodiment of stamina- balancing loads across harsh terrain, embracing sweat and scars, biking through muddy tracks, exuding more power in silence. Fans who are used to seeing Anushka as a resplendent goddess figure now witness a different goddess, one of defiance and unbroken spirit.
The movie directed by Krish is getting ready for release on September 5th with high expectations set by promotional material.
