A dramatic new poster for the upcoming war epic, ‘The Battle of Shatrughat,’ was revealed today at IFFI Goa 2025, showcasing a compelling visual narrative and a star-studded cast. The film, featuring Gurmeet Choudhary, Aarushi Nishank, Sidharth Nigam, Mahesh Manjrekar, Raza Murad, and Zarina Wahab, is poised to be a major cinematic event, exploring themes of honor, destiny, and large-scale conflict.
The poster prominently features Aarushi Nishank in her debut as a warrior-princess. Her costume, a detailed traditional lehenga with ornate jewelry, and her steady grip on a formidable sword, project an image of power and royalty essential to her character. Gurmeet Choudhary appears in battle-ready armor, while Sidharth Nigam adopts a rugged, untamed look. These distinct visual treatments not only enhance the film’s mythic feel but also emphasize Nishank’s central role in the story.
Gurmeet Choudhary shared his perspective on ‘The Battle of Shatrughat,’ calling it a significant departure and a “new space” for his acting career. He described the project as a heartfelt “labor of love” that allows him to revisit the costume drama genre. Choudhary detailed the film’s compelling mix of love, war, historical intrigue, and drama, and expressed his eagerness for the film’s eventual cinematic release after this initial poster unveiling.
