Overview

• Entertainment outlets report that an announcement video for Shakti Shalini will screen with every Thamma showing across India during its Diwali rollout.
• Coverage reiterates that Aneet Padda is being introduced in the title role, with prior reports claiming she replaced Kiara Advani, though the studio has not confirmed the casting.
• Descriptions from reporting say the video presents Padda’s transformation into a contemporary, mythology‑tinged superhero and hints at an origin arc without revealing plot.
• Social media posts from early screenings share a post‑credit image of a woman in a lehenga in a forest, which users claim is the character’s first look, with identity unverified by the studio.
• Reporters characterize the teaser attachment as a bid to seed a heroine‑led franchise within Maddock’s universe, as early online reactions to Thamma appear mixed.
