A sickle-wielding, sari-clad Anushka Shetty beheads her adversary in the first teaser of Krish Jagarlamudi’s upcoming crime action drama Ghaati, dropped by production house UV Creations on Thursday to mark the actress's 43rd birthday.
The 47-second-long teaser opens with a group of people trekking up a hill in a rural setting. Anushka’s character boards a bus with a sickle in hand. Her silver anklets and tattooed feet suggest she belongs to a local tribal community. In a gripping scene, she ruthlessly severs a man’s head as his blood splatters onto her face and trickles down. She then carries the severed head with her. The teaser ends with a close-up of Anushka smoking a cigar.
Ghaati is touted as a raw tale from the valleys of India about a woman who is a victim, a criminal and a legend. As per media reports, Ghaati explores the journey of a woman from a victim to a criminal mastermind, involved in the illicit cannabis trade.
The makers also dropped a poster of the film ahead of the teaser’s release. “Prepare for the mighty queen’s rightful return to power and her reign over the #Ghaati,” they wrote on X (formerly Twitter).
Produced by Rajeev Reddy and Sai Babu Jagarlamudi under the banner of First Frame Entertainments, Ghaati will be released in Telugu, Tamil, Hindi, Kannada and Malayalam.
