'Sherni' poster: Vidya Balan's 'fearless' avatar as forest officer intrigues
Vidya Balan will soon be seen in Sherni, which will be streaming on Amazon Prime Video in June. Sharing a poster from the movie, she said today that her character is "fearless as she steps out into the world!" Balan was last seen in Natkhat, a short film that was in race for Oscars, and Shakuntala Devi, which released last July on Prime.

Helmed by Newton director Amit Masurkar, Sherni's poster shows Balan in a green shirt, surrounded by greenery. With a walkie-talkie in her hand, the actress has her serious face on. But it could be that she is being targeted, as the entire poster is seen through the target hole of some gun. The concept is intriguing and successfully raises anticipation about the film.
