Anushka Shetty Returns in Gritty Role as Ganja Smuggler in Ghati

Since Miss Shetty Mr. Polishetty, actress Anushka Shetty hasn’t had a film hit the screens. Now, after a long hiatus, she is all set to make a comeback with her upcoming film Ghati.Known for her strong presence and massive following in Tollywood, Anushka, affectionately called Sweety by fans, became a household name post-Baahubali. However, she's been extremely selective with her projects since then. With Ghati, she’s returning in a women-centric role under the direction of Krish Jagarlamudi. The film is scheduled for release on July 11, yet the promotions have been surprisingly quiet with just a few weeks left.

According to inside reports, the team is planning to kick off promotions from June 21, starting with the release of a song from the movie. The trailer is expected to drop two weeks ahead of the release, after which aggressive promotional efforts will begin.Previously, Anushka maintained a low profile during promotions due to weight gain concerns, but this time around, she is reportedly fully involved. She’s agreed to attend media interviews and promotional events to support the film. Director Krish will begin promotions shortly, with Anushka expected to join soon after.Given that Ghati’s digital streaming rights have already been secured by Amazon Prime Video, the chances of postponement are slim. Anushka will be seen portraying the role of a ganja smuggler—a gritty, intense character that’s bound to catch attention.To capitalize on the buzz and ensure a successful run, the makers would do well to accelerate the promotional campaign and bring Ghati into the limelight it deserves.
