Anushka Shetty’s first look from Ghaati
UV Creations, which is presenting the film, posted Anushka’s first look from the film on X (formerly Twitter). They wrote, “VICTIM. CRIMINAL. LEGEND. The Queen will now rule the #GHAATI. Wishing 'The Queen' #AnushkaShetty a very Happy Birthday.”
The first look sees Anushka in a fierce avatar. With blood dripping from her head and hands, she stares into the camera while smoking a roll of marijuana with tears in her eyes. Two nose rings, bangles and a bindi are the only other hints of what her look from the film will be like. The film’s poster hints at an emotionally charged tale without revealing much. In a press note, the film's team hinted that Ghaati would ‘not shy away from the brutal reality of the protagonist’s life’.
In the evening, a glimpse of Anushka from Ghaati was released, which gave an insight of what the film will be like. The 47-second teaser saw her dressed in a saree, covered in a black shawl and wearing traditional jewellery. Even as the police look for her, she gets on a bus and chops off a person's head with a sickle. All this while looking at them in a rearview mirror and not directly.
