The poster reveal comes after a striking promo video released last November. That promo video showcased Anushka in a compelling and intense role in a spine-chilling sequence where she takes justice into her own hands, wielding the sickle. The tagline, "A story of a woman who is a victim, a criminal, and a legend," hints at the depth and complexity of the plot.
With a story by Chintakindi Srinivas Rao and dialogues by Sai Madhav Burra, Ghaati features music composed by Nagavelli Vidya Sagar, art direction by Thota Tharrani, and cinematography by Manojh Reddy Katasani. Editing is handled by Chanakya Reddy Toorupu.
Produced by Rajeev Reddy and Sai Babu Jagarlamudi, Ghaati is set to release in five languages including Telugu, Tamil, Hindi, Kannada, and Malayalam. Reuniting Anushka and director Krish after their success with Vedam, the film is slated for a theatrical release on April 18, 2025.
