In November, the makers of Kathanar released a teaser introducing Anushka's character, Nila, a weaver. The teaser starts with intriguing visuals of threads on a weaving machine and eventually reveals a glimpse of Anushka in her role.
The announcement for Kathanar was made on the special occasion of Anushka's birthday. The makers wrote, "Wishing a magical birthday to our dear Anushka Shetty! We are excited to reveal her captivating character in 'KATHANAR - The Wild Sorcerer,' which marks her grand entry into Malayalam cinema. Magic awaits!"
