“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 a compelling watch,” Abundantia Entertainment founder Vikram Malhotra said in the press release.

Sherni is Amit Masurkar’s third film after Sulemani Keeda and Newton. Balan’s most recent release was the biopic Shakuntala Devi, which was released directly on Amazon Prime Video in July 2020.
