The
first
poster
of

a
short
film
starring
an
impressive
ensemble
cast
including
Kajol,
Neha
Dhupia,
and
Shruti
Hassan,
dropped
on
Thursday.
The
film
tells
the
story
of
nine
women
of
different
backgrounds,
who
live
oppressed
lives.
Kajol
took
to
her
social
media
to
share
the
poster.
Moments
later,
her
hubby
Ajay
Devgn
shared
the
poster
and
wrote
how
proud
he
is
of
Kajol
for
doing
the
film.
Sharing
the
poster
on
Instagram,
Kajol
also
announced
the
date
of
Devi's
teaser
release.
She
wrote,
"A
tale
of
nine
women
navigating
through
an
unusual
sisterhood
thrust
upon
them
by
circumstance.
The
teaser
of
our
powerful
short
film

and

A
proud
husband,
Ajay
captioned
his
post
on
Instagram,
"Women
empowerment
is
not
a
statement
for
me.
It's
a
way
of
life.
So
proud
that
Kajol
is
doing
Devi,
a
sensitive
film
that's
headed
in
the
right
direction,"
(sic).
Some
time
back,
Kajol
had
told
Mid-Day
that
she
could
not
have
chosen
a
better
subject
for
her
first
short
film.
She
shared
that
her
character
Jyoti
is
very
different
from
her,
yet
they
share
uncanny
similarities.
She
added
that
Devi
is
relevant
in
today's
times
when
gender
discrimination,
abuse
and
violence
are
being
spoken
against
like
never
before.
Kajol
was
last
seen
in
Tanhaji:
The
Unsung
Warrior,
co-starring
Ajay
and
Saif
Ali
Khan.
The
period
drama
is
the
biggest
hit
of
this
year
so
far.
