Yami Gautam Dhar is back to keep us on the edge of our seats, and this time, the mystery is hitting a little too close to home. Amazon MGM Studios and Colour Yellow have finally dropped the trailer for her upcoming film, Nayyi Navelli, and it is a wild ride. Set against the backdrop of Meerut, the story follows Mohini, a new bride entering the Awasthi household. While it starts like a typical domestic drama, things quickly take a dark and twisted turn, leaving us all wondering if Mohini is the perfect bahu or something far more sinister.
The trailer packs a punch, blending family dynamics with generous doses of humor, mystery, and high-octane action. Yami, who sports a refreshing new look for the role, isn’t the only star to watch out for. The ensemble cast features Addinath M. Kothare, Anurag Thakur, Sunita Rajwar, Mita Vasisth, Aaditya Kulshreshth, Susmita Mukherjee, and Prateek Pachori, all playing pivotal roles in this unfolding puzzle. Directed by Balaji Mohan, the film promises to be a genre-bending experience that keeps the audience guessing about Mohini’s true intentions.
Opening up about her character, Yami shared that Mohini’s unpredictability was exactly what drew her to the script. She noted that the role allowed her to juggle various emotions, moving seamlessly between family warmth, fantasy, and intense action. Written by Himanshu Sharma and Divy Nidhi Sharma, and produced by the powerhouse duo of Aanand L. Rai and Himanshu Sharma, the film features a musical score by G. V. Prakash Kumar. Fans can catch the mystery unfold when Nayyi Navelli hits cinemas across India on October 16, 2026, just in time for the Dussehra festivities. This comes as a highly anticipated project for Yami, who is fresh off her first National Film Award win for her stellar performance in Article 370.
