Srisailam Project : నిండుకుండను తలపిస్తున్న శ్రీశైలం ప్రాజెక్ట్ –

Anushka Shetty, one of the few actresses in South Indian cinema who commands stardom on par with leading heroes, has always impressed audiences with her powerful performances and bold choices. From Arundhati to Baahubali, she carved a niche for herself with roles that showcased her talent and versatility.

However, in recent years, Anushka has been away from the spotlight. Her upcoming film, Ghaati, is set for a grand release, and with the trailer now out, fresh criticism has surfaced—particularly about her appearance. Ironically, Anushka was once a professional yoga trainer and known for her disciplined fitness lifestyle.

Her commitment to roles has often demanded physical transformations. A notable example is Size Zero, where she gained weight naturally for the character. While the performance earned her appreciation, it also brought long-term challenges. Despite following a strict fitness regimen, Anushka has reportedly found it difficult to return to her earlier physique.

After Baahubali, she appeared in Bhaagamathiee and Miss Shetty & Mr. Polishetty. Reports suggested that CGI was used in both films to make her appear slimmer in certain shots. This move sparked mixed reactions from audiences, and some believe it’s one reason why Anushka has avoided public events, including the Baahubali 10-year celebration.

Now, with Ghaati, similar concerns are being raised. Certain scenes in the trailer seem to use visual effects to alter her appearance, and fans have expressed disappointment. While the final judgment awaits the film’s release, it has once again opened up discussions around body image, expectations from actresses, and the pressures of maintaining public perception in the film industry.

Despite these challenges, Anushka remains a respected and beloved figure, and many are eagerly waiting to see what Ghaati brings to the table.
