What's in the first look glimpse? Firebrand Anushka!
These 47-second glimpses confirm that Whammo, Anushka is back in full form! The video, tagged “The Queen”, shows Anushka in a fierce, menacing look. Anushka is seen in a desert-like location, in a rugged outfit, with fire in her eyes. A weapon in her hand, a dangerous vibe all around—the glimpses hint that this is definitely a survival drama. The voiceover, “Anyone can make it, but can anyone survive?” sets the intensity of the film. Nagavalli Vidyasagar’s (Veda) background score gives life to Glimpse, cultivating thrill in every frame. Krish Jagarlamudi’s styled visuals, especially the dusty locations, are reminiscent of the film Konda Polam. This glimpse is trending on YouTube with 11 million views, that's Anushka's star power!
Star cast, technical team—top level!
Anushka Shetty will be seen in the lead role in Gaati, along with Vikram Prabhu in a key role. The makers have kept the suspense about who else is in it, but it is clear that this is an Anushka-centric film. Director Krish Jagarlamudi is a talented filmmaker who has made his mark with intense films like Vedam and Gautamiputra Satakarni. The film is jointly produced by UV Creations and First Frame Entertainment.
Nagavalli Vidyasagar is on the technical team, taking the film to the next level with music and Krish's vision. The film is currently in the final stage of production, meaning the shooting is almost complete.
Release date, where is the hype?
There is a little confusion about the release date. Initially, it was announced to release on April 18, 2025, but according to the latest update, it will be released in 2025, and the makers have said to wait for the exact date. With a big banner like UV Creations and a visionary director like Krish, the film's budget is also huge, and there is a chance of opening in the Rs. 80 crore range at the box office, according to trade talk.
Anushka's previous films have created records with worldwide collections like Baahubali (Rs. 1800 crores) and Rudramadevi (Rs. 70+ crores). If Gaati also hits in this range, fans are hoping that Anushka will set another benchmark in women-centric films.
Conclusion: Anushka Rules!
If we look at the first look glimpses of Gaati, it is clear that Anushka Shetty is ready to rock the box office again. Fierce look, Krish’s direction, pan-India release—all these together are sure to make Gaati one of the biggest blockbusters of 2025. This movie will give Telugu fans a thrilling theater experience, especially at the IMAX screens in Hyderabad. Get your calendar ready for the release date, and don’t miss Anushka rocking the “Queen”!
