The release of Ghaati, Anushka Shetty much-awaited return to the big screen, has been officially postponed. Originally scheduled for a mid-August release. The film has hit an unexpected delay due to pending visual effects (VFX) work, according to sources close to the production. The makers are now eyeing a late 2025 release window to ensure that the final product lives up to both audience expectations and cinematic standards.
VFX-Heavy Climax Requires More Time
Ghaati is said to be a visually intense action-thriller set in the Himalayan region. With several crucial sequences relying heavily on computer-generated imagery. The delay stems from the climactic portions of the film. Which involve elaborate mountain chase scenes and atmospheric transitions that require intricate VFX layering. The production team and post-production supervisors reportedly requested additional time to enhance realism and meet international quality benchmarks.
Anushka’s Return Continues to Build Buzz
The film marks Anushka Shetty first major role since Chakda ‘Xpress. And fans were eager to see her take on a darker, action-oriented character. Her transformation for the role has already created excitement. And her gritty, intense look in the teaser posters drew significant social media buzz earlier this year. The actress has remained silent on the delay so far. But sources suggest she is fully aligned with the decision to postpone in favor of better storytelling and visuals.
Studio Focuses on Quality Over Calendar
The production house backing Ghaati released a brief statement emphasizing their commitment to “delivering an uncompromised cinematic experience.” Industry insiders have praised the decision, noting that recent trends show audiences increasingly value visual fidelity and storytelling quality over rigid release schedules.
