Nayyi Navelli Arrives in Theatres on October 16
Directed by Balaji Mohan, Nayyi Navelli combines fantasy, comedy and family drama.
Yami plays Mohini, a seemingly perfect bride whose arrival transforms a chaotic household in Meerut. However, suspicions surrounding her mysterious abilities introduce a supernatural twist.
Produced by Aanand L. Rai and Himanshu Sharma, the film explores themes of good versus evil, making its Dussehra release particularly relevant.
A promotional cultural event was also organised at Ram Ki Paidi in Ayodhya.
With the film arriving in cinemas on Friday, Yami’s temple visit marks one of the final stops in its promotional campaign.
