Anushka Shetty is back—and this time, she’s bringing fire, fury, and fierce drama to the big screen. The actress dropped a brand-new poster for her next film, Ghaati, and with it came the big announcement: the film will hit theatres worldwide on July 11, 2025. With the haunting tagline “Victim. Criminal. Legend.”, Ghaati promises to be an intense ride through the dark and dangerous intersections of survival and identity.
Directed by the acclaimed Krish Jagarlamudi, known for hard-hitting films like Vedam and Kanche (the latter bagging a National Award), Ghaati marks a return to layered, socially grounded storytelling—this time wrapped in a high-stakes thriller format. Anushka takes center stage in a role that looks physically and emotionally demanding, while Vikram Prabhu joins her in what appears to be a raw, wild avatar. Together, they seem poised to lead a tale as gritty as it is gripping.
The poster itself is a visual gut punch—characters wading through a river with heavy bags slung over their shoulders, shadows cast against misty wilderness. There’s no glamour here, only struggle. Word is, Anushka’s character finds herself dragged into the illegal weed trade, not by choice but by desperate circumstance. That single visual speaks volumes: Ghaati isn't about right and wrong—it’s about what happens in between.
Backed by powerhouse banners UV Creations and First Frame Entertainment, and with music by Aditya Music, Ghaati has all the makings of a hard-hitting, pan-Indian blockbuster. For Anushka fans, this marks a thrilling return to the kind of powerful, character-driven cinema she’s long been celebrated for. Come July 11, we’re not just watching a movie—we’re stepping into a world where survival writes its own rules.
