Anushka Shetty is back with a bang in the upcoming action drama Ghaati, directed by Krish Jagarlamudi. The intense trailer and chart-topping songs like Sailore and Dassora have already sparked excitement as the film gears up for its theatrical release on September 5.
Now, the buzz has reached new heights with an exciting update from the Kannada film industry.
Pushpa Arun Kumar, mother of KGF star Yash, is making her debut as a film distributor under her new banner, PA Films. And for her first project, she has chosen Ghaati. Pushpa will handle the film’s release across Karnataka, making it a high-profile entry into the world of distribution. Sources say she found Anushka’s powerful performance and the film’s gripping visuals, shown in the promotional materials, deeply impressive.
Pushpa isn’t alone in stepping behind the camera. Across South cinema, several star families are involved in production. Jyothika, wife of Suriya, co-runs 2D Entertainment. Vijay Deverakonda’s mother, Madhavi, supports his banner King of the Hill, while Upasana Konidela, Ram Charan’s wife, is active in Konidela Production Company. Nani’s sister, Deepthi Ganta, made her directorial debut with Meet Cute. These family-run ventures are quietly shaping the industry, backing unique stories and fresh talent.
Pushpa reportedly felt that Ghaati, being a heroine-centric film, was the perfect launchpad for her distribution journey. With Anushka leading the charge and director Krish at the helm, she believes the film has both mass appeal and critical potential.
