The
much
anticipated
trailer
of
Vidya
Balan's
upcoming
film
Sherni
is
finally
out
and
as
expected,
it
looks
intriguing
right
from
the
first
frame
till
the
last.
The
trademark
satire
in
the
film's
trailer
also
strikes
a
chord.
Sherni
is
slated
for
a
direct
release
on
Amazon
Prime.
It
features
Vidya
Balan
as
an
upright
forest
officer
who
leads
a
team
of
trackers
and
locals
intending
to
capture
an
unsettled
tigress,
while
battling
intense
obstacles
and
pressures,
both
natural
and
man-made.
Set
in
the
world
full
of
quirky
yet
relatable
characters,
her
character
is
a
woman
on
mission
who
is
seen
making
her
way
through
the
brutal
beasts
of
social
barrier
set
by
the
patriarchal
society,
and
the
lackadaisical
attitudes
within
her
department,
to
resolve
the
man-animal
conflict.
Sharing
her
excitement
on
the
trailer
launch,
Vidya
shared
in
an
official
statement,
"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."
Sherni
is
helmed
by
Amit
Masurkar
who
last
directed
Rajkummar
Rao's
Newton.
He
elaborated
on
the
plot
of
the
film
and
said,
"Sherni
is
an
intricately-layered
story,
exploring
the
complex
issues
of
conflict
between
humankind
and
animals.
Vidya
Balan
plays
a
mid-level
forest
officer
who
despite
obstacles
and
pressures,
works
with
her
team
and
local
allies
to
preserve
a
balance
in
the
environment."
Amit
further
added,
"Working
with
her,
the
amazing
ensemble
cast
and
the
uber-talented
crew
has
been
an
incredible
experience
for
me.
I
hope
that
releasing
Sherni
on
Amazon
Prime
Video
will
help
this
story
reach
a
wide
and
diverse
audience
both
in
India
and
across
the
world."
Producer
Bhushan
Kumar
said,
"We
are
excited
to
share
the
trailer
of
our
special
film.
Sherni
is
one
of
the
most
crucial
films,
I
have
been
a
part
of
which
I
feel
is
the
need
of
the
hour.
I
can't
wait
for
the
audience
to
experience
it."
