garnered
rave
reviews
from
film
critics
for
her
bold
performance
in
controversial
Kannada
movie
Dandupalya.
She
is
now
making
her
comeback
with
a
female-centric
film
Abhinetri.

the
title
role

a
unique
invitation
card
to
the
media.
Her
invitation
features
some
of
her
best
pictures
taken
from
her
recent
photo
shoot.
The
photos
show
that

will
be
a
woman-oriented
film
based

the
life
of
an
actress
in
1980s.
If
we
are
to
go
by

retro
style
make-up
in
the
pictures,
the
movie
is
inspired
by
the
life
of
late
actresses,
Kalpana
or
Manjula.
The
film
will
recreate
the
era
of
1980s
in
Kannada
film
industry.
