The two-and-a-half minute trailer is yet another proof of Vidya Balan’s brilliance on screen.
Sherni: What is the Story?
Vidya plays a forest officer, brought in to rid the villagers of their big cat. However, neither the villagers, nor the men around her think she is any good. They doubt her every step of the way, while pretending to be know-it-all themselves. Sharad Saxena plays a master shooter who claims he can ‘look into the eyes of a tiger’ and figure out if it’s a man-eater or just a benign animal. There’s also the overbearing senior payed by Neeraj Kabi, who is brought in as extra reinforcement. Amid all this, while the villagers are growing restless and the officials are still uncaring, Vidya’s character discovers that more sinister plans may be afoot. Watch the trailer here:
Directed by Amit Masurkar and written by Aastha Tiku, the film is scheduled to be released later this month on Amazon Prime. According to NDTV, Sherni’s shooting was delayed due to COVID-19 lockdown and it resumed only in October last year following strict bio-bubble protocols in the forests of Madhya Pradesh.

What did Vidya say at the trailer launch?
At the trailer launch, the versatile actress Vidya Balan said, “Ever since I first heard the story of Sherni, I found the world fascinating and so far removed from my own. Also the character I play, Vidya is a woman of few words but many dimensions. The film deals with a sensitive topic that touches upon respect, mutual understanding, and co-existence, not just between man-animal, but between humans as well. It gives me immense joy to bring this unique character and story to the global audience through Amazon Prime Video and hope to engage them in unexpected ways.”
