Ghaati, headlined by Anushka Shetty, is set for a grand release on September 5. Directed by Krish Jagarlamudi, the film revolves around the lives of weed traders. Some have commented that films like Ghaati promote illicit activities, which may mislead the youth. During promotions, Krish was asked about the same concern.
The Kanche director replied, “I promise you that Ghaati doesn’t glorify illegal activities. The trailer itself conveys that. I can’t reveal the full story now, but whatever story or film I create, I make sure to be socially responsible. I don’t cross the line. Pushpa is about a person’s story and his swag. Sukumar Garu made it in such a way that it looked like a biopic of Pushpa Raj.”
Krish added, “We are dealing with a bigger social issue in Ghaati. Weed smuggling has now reached schools as well. The weed ecosystem is massive. We haven’t depicted the protagonist in a heroic way. You will understand this after watching the film.”
