After the ground-breaking success of the Baahubali franchise, in which she played the courageous Devasena, Shetty has now joined hands with G Ashok. The first look featured Shetty in a bruised and battered state standing against a wall. A chained woman can be seen in the background and the bloodied hammer in her hand, hints at vengeance.
