Lead actor Yash shared the striking visual through his official Instagram channel, generating immediate buzz among fans and critics alike.
The evocative poster presents Advani in a moment of dramatic intensity, portraying her character named Nadia. Dressed in an elegant black off-shoulder gown featuring a thigh-high slit, the actress stands isolated under a single spotlight on what appears to be a dance floor. The composition captures her looking away from the camera with visible tears tracing her cheeks, suggesting a complex emotional narrative within the film.
Director Geetu Mohandas expressed profound admiration for Advani’s performance in an official statement, noting: ‘Some performances don’t just belong to a film, they redefine an artist. What Kiara created on screen in this project is nothing short of transformative. As a director, I am deeply proud of her delivery and the unwavering commitment she brought to our collaborative journey.’
This cinematic project marks Yash’s return to feature films following the monumental success of ‘KGF: Chapter 2’. The multi-lingual production has been shot simultaneously in English and Kannada, with plans for dubbed releases across several Indian regional languages. The creative team includes music composer Ravi Basrur and cinematographer Rajeev Ravi, with action sequences developed by both international and Indian choreography experts.
Produced through a collaboration between KVN Productions and Monster Mind Creations, the film represents a significant investment in production quality and artistic ambition. Industry observers have noted the strategic positioning of the March 19, 2026 release date, suggesting confidence in the film’s potential to make a substantial impact at the box office.
