IFFI Goa 2025 served as the grand stage for the unveiling of the poster for the epic war drama, ‘The Battle of Shatrughat.’ The visual presentation has already generated considerable buzz, highlighting its compelling imagery and a powerful cast. Headlined by Gurmeet Choudhary and featuring Aarushi Nishank in a lead role, the film also stars Sidharth Nigam, Mahesh Manjrekar, Raza Murad, and Zarina Wahab, setting the stage for a visually stunning narrative about courage and conflict.
Aarushi Nishank makes her impressive debut as a warrior-princess, a role that is visually emphasized in the poster. Her portrayal includes intricate traditional attire and regal ornamentation, alongside the commanding presence of a large sword, signifying strength and leadership. Gurmeet Choudhary embodies the archetype of a war-hardened warrior in armor, contrasting with Sidharth Nigam’s wild, fur-clad appearance, which adds a layer of raw intensity. These visual elements powerfully position Nishank’s character at the heart of the film’s epic narrative.
Reflecting on the film, Gurmeet Choudhary described ‘The Battle of Shatrughat’ as a project that has pushed him into new creative territories. He conveyed that the film represents a significant “labor of love” and a welcome return to the costume drama genre. Choudhary highlighted the film’s unique fusion of romance, warfare, historical contexts, and dramatic storytelling, expressing his anticipation for the movie’s release and its grand presentation on cinema screens.
