Anushka Reveals Pushpa And Sheela Crossover Details

Some characters leave a mark that fans can’t forget, and Anushka Shettyis ready to do it again with Ghaati. After impressing in films like Baahubali and Arundhati, she is now taking on the role of Sheelavati, a bold and fierce ganja smuggler. Directed by Krish Jagarlamudi, the film is set to release on September 5, and already the trailer has sparked discussions comparing her character to Allu Arjun’s Pushpa. Fans are curious: what would happen if Sheelavati and Pushpa’s worlds collided?

In Ghaati, Anushka’s character Sheelavati is different from typical criminals. She fights against the system that controls the ganja trade and becomes a powerful, rebellious woman. Her change and strong presence have caught a lot of attention online, especially because social media users are imagining her joining the story of Pushpa's red sandalwood smuggling. This idea has become very popular on the internet, showing that fans are excited about new and surprising movie combinations.

Anushka addressed this crossover in a recent interview. She said the concept is thrilling and would excite audiences if it ever happened. Talking about working with Krish again, she shared, “The role of Saroja in Vedam and now Sheelavati in Ghati are unforgettable. I am grateful Krish trusted me with this part. He told me about Ghaati in 2023, and I immediately found it interesting. It will be one of the most memorable roles in my career.”

Krish Jagarlamudi also spoke about the distinction between the two films. “Pushpa showcased style and swag, while Ghaati tackles a serious social issue. Marijuana smuggling causes many hidden problems in society. Many people fall victim to it. I made Ghaati to highlight this,” he said. With such strong performances and a social message, Ghaati promises to make audiences think and feel, while keeping them on the edge of their seats.
