Sherni poster: Vidya Balan is in the crosshairs

Vidya Balan is caught in the crosshairs as the target in the first poster for Amit Masurkar's Sherni.

Produced by T-Series and Vikram Malhotra's Abundantia Entertainment, the film will be released directly on Amazon Prime Video next month.

The poster captures Vidya's serious-looking forest officer fighting an undisclosed threat. The stormy forest in the background adds to the threatening nature of the visual.

Sherni, Masurkar's sophomore film was announced last year and ran into delays owing to the COVID-19 pandemic. Masurkar had made his directorial debut with the critically acclaimed Newton (2017).

In addition to Vidya, the film features Vijay Raaz and Mukul Chadda in key roles.
