Anushka to Break Her No-Promotion Rule for Kathanar?

It has been many years since Anushka Shetty was seen actively in public. Even after gaining pan-India fame with Baahubali, she has been choosing her films carefully. After her role in Size Zero, she reportedly faced weight-related issues, which is why she has continued acting but stayed away from movie promotions. Last year, she acted in the film Ghaati and fans expected her to appear for promotions, but she did not.

Now, an interesting rumor is going around. Anushka has mostly worked in Telugu and Tamil films, but she recently acted in a Malayalam movie titled Kathanar. The Telugu version of its trailer was released recently, but fans were disappointed as she appeared only in a few shots. However, there is talk that Anushka might come to Hyderabad for the film’s promotions, something she rarely does.

Many people find this hard to believe. Even when she acted in direct Telugu films, she avoided promotions. So, will she really come out for a dubbed Malayalam film? That remains uncertain. The makers have announced that the film will release in the second half of this year, but the exact month is still unknown. The movie is based on the life of Kathanar, a Christian preacher from the 9th century.
