we're
excited
to
present
Sherni,
another
Vidya
Balan
starrer
to
our
customers
in

The

an

an
experience

commented,
"After
the
successful
and
much-loved
collaboration
for
Shakuntala
Devi
in
2020,
I
am
delighted
to
partner
once
again
with
Amazon
Prime
Video
as
we
take
Abundantia
Entertainment's
latest
film
to
the
world.
Sherni
is
one
of
the
most
special
and
important
stories
that
we've
worked
on
and
Amit's
evocative
take
on
a
highly
relevant
subject,
laced
with
his
trademark
satire,
will
make
for
compelling
watch.
I'm
also
very
excited
for
the
fans
of
Vidya
Balan
to
see
her
in
the
unique
avatar
of
a
forest
officer.
Can't
wait
for
the
'First
Day
First
Stream'
of
Sherni!"

"Sherni
is
one
of
the
most
unconventional
and
engaging
films
I
have
had
a
chance
to
produce
and
I
am
thrilled
that
it's
premiering
on
Amazon
Prime
Video
as
the
movie
will
travel
to
a
global
audience.
As
always,
it
has
been
an
absolute
pleasure
to
collaborate
with
Vikram
and
I
look
forward
to
creating
more
entertaining
and
exceptional
