After staying away from the spotlight for a long time, Anushka Shetty is suddenly back in headlines—and this time, it’s not just about her film. Reports suggest that the actress might finally step out for promotions of her upcoming mega project, creating massive curiosity among fans.
Kathanar Becomes a Massive Talking Point
The upcoming film Kathanar: The Wild Sorcerer is already being called one of the biggest films in Malayalam cinema. Starring Jayasurya alongside Anushka Shetty, the movie dives into a dark fantasy world based on a legendary priest with supernatural powers.
Made on a reported budget of around ₹90 crore, the film is packed with high-end VFX and will release in multiple languages. That alone has turned it into a pan-India event even before release.
Interestingly, this film also marks Anushka Shetty Malayalam debut, making it a crucial project in her career after her pan India fame from Baahubali.
Will Anushka Finally Face Media Again?
For years, Anushka Shetty has avoided public appearances and media interactions. After her film Size Zero, she reportedly faced health and weight-related challenges, which led her to stay low-key and choose limited projects.
Now, insiders hint that if she actually joins promotions for Kathanar, it would be a rare and shocking move. Fans have not seen her actively promoting films in a long time, so even a single appearance could go viral instantly.
This is why the buzz is not just about the film but about Anushka herself stepping back into the public eye.
Big Budget, Bigger Expectations
Directed by Rojin Thomas, the film blends folklore with modern technology, using advanced virtual production techniques.
The teaser has already created strong hype with its dark tone and grand visuals. Industry insiders are calling it a potential game-changer for Malayalam cinema, similar to how big-budget films redefined Telugu cinema in the past.
With names like Prabhu Deva also involved, the scale only gets bigger.
Social Media Goes Crazy Over Anushka Return
On X (Twitter) and Instagram, fans are already trending Anushka name. Many are excited to see her comeback, while some are curious if she will actually appear for promotions.
A section of users is even calling this a “silent comeback strategy,” while others are trolling the makers for keeping her away from promotions for so long.
Still, one thing is clear whether she appears or not, Anushka has already become the biggest talking point of this film.
