As Pari teaser launched on Wednesday, it has established one thing quite well, this is not a fairytale. What Pari is, instead, is an offering with almost all elements you associate with the genre, we see a woman possessed, a man who must have been fond of her once but now wants to get rid of her and a devil “who is out to play”.
The fact that it comes with a lot of shrieks from a tortured soul is a given.
Watch the teaser here:

The twist in the teaser comes towards its ends when Anushka wakes up with a jerk and goes to investigate a noise. She drags her chains as she walks and comes across a bloodied version of herself who is drinking a liquid, which looks nothing like milk, from a baby’s feeding bottle. She shouts in fear as the door slams behind her and the Anushka covered in blood laughs hysterically.
Anushka’s co-star and Bengali actor Parambrata Chatterjee also showed up in a poster earlier.
Pari is the actor’s third film as a producer. She has earlier acted and co-produced NH10 (2015) and Phillauri (2017). Anushka is currently filming Aanand L Rai’s movie Zero, co-starring Shah Rukh Khan and Katrina Kaif.
This will also be her first film after she married cricketer Virat Kohli at a private ceremony in Italy on December 11. Their wedding trended on top of the charts as the couple threw two lavish receptions in Delhi and Mumbai.
