With just ten days remaining until the theatrical release of her much-anticipated crime-action drama, Ghaati, actress Anushka Shetty finds herself at the center of a quiet but intense debate. Scheduled to hit screens on September 5, 2025, the film is a significant project for both Anushka and its director, Krish Jagarlamudi. However, in an era where aggressive film promotions are the norm, the film’s marketing campaign has been notably subdued, leaving fans to wonder: will Anushka Shetty step out to light up the buzz?

The Power of "Lady Superstar"

Produced by UV Creations, Ghaati is set to be released in multiple languages, aiming for a pan-Indian audience. The film, which also features a talented cast including Vikram Prabhu, Jagapathi Babu, and Chaitanya Rao, has garnered a decent amount of positive buzz, largely thanks to its intriguing trailer and the name recognition of its star. Anushka Shetty, often hailed as a "Lady Superstar" for her powerful and commanding on-screen presence, is the film's biggest draw.

Her fans, who have been eagerly awaiting her return to a full-fledged action role, are excited but also anxious. They know that her presence at promotional events—from pre-release parties to press conferences—could significantly amplify the film's reach. In a competitive market where multiple films are vying for audience attention, a celebrity's direct engagement with the public is invaluable.

The Promotional Silence: A Calculated Move or a Cause for Concern?

The lack of high-profile promotions for Ghaati is particularly striking given Anushka's long-standing preference for a low-key public profile. While her last film, Miss Shetty Mr Polishetty, also had a relatively quiet promotional phase, the film's success was largely driven by a positive word-of-mouth. With Ghaati being a larger-scale action film, a more robust marketing push is arguably needed to ensure a strong opening.

Some industry observers and fan pages have expressed concern, noting that the absence of its lead star in promotional activities could hurt the film's box office prospects. However, others believe this might be a calculated strategy, a silent confidence in the film's content. Director Krish Jagarlamudi is known for his compelling and unique storytelling, and a producer from UV Creations has stated that Ghaati is a "commercial film in Krish's signature style." Perhaps the makers believe that the film's raw power and gritty narrative, set against the backdrop of weed traders in a mountainous region, will speak for itself.

The Final Countdown

As the countdown to September 5 begins, all eyes are on Anushka Shetty. Will she make a surprise appearance? Will she engage with fans on social media to build excitement? Her decision could very well determine the film's initial momentum. While the film has an impressive cast and crew, including music by Nagavelli Vidya Sagar, the final push often comes down to the star power of its lead. Whether she takes center stage or chooses to remain in the shadows, her fans will be there to support her. The question remains, what kind of a spectacle will the Baahubali actress present to her adoring audience in the final few days before her big comeback?
