Actress Yami Gautam visited Ayodhya Ram Mandir to seek Lord Ram's blessings ahead of the release of her much-awaited film, Nayyi Navelli. Just before Dussehra, she visited Lord Ram's birthplace, Ayodhya, to seek blessings ahead of presenting a story about the victory of good over evil.
The actress offered prayers at the sacred temple, creating a blissful moment of gratitude before the film's release. Yami wore a stunning yellow saree, keeping the look subtle yet elegant for the spiritual visit.
With the film slated to release just before Dussehra, Yami's visit to Ayodhya holds significance as the story revolves around the triumph of good over evil. Combining humour, fantasy and family, the film promises to offer the audience a festive entertainer featuring Yami in a fresh avatar.
Presented by Amazon MGM Studios and Colour Yellow Productions, Nayyi Navelli is backed by Aanand L Rai and Himanshu Sharma, with Balaji Mohan as its director. As excitement and anticipation continue to rise, this Dussehra is the ideal time to pick up some popcorn and head to the cinemas for a larger-than-life big screen experience.
The upcoming film revolves around Mohini, a newly married woman who becomes the daughter-in-law of the Awasthi family. Her picture-perfect image as a bride soon turns chaotic for Meerut household. However, her suspicious brother-in-law begins to wonder: Is the ideal daughter-in-law not human but an evil from another world?
Helmed by Balaji Mohan and written by Himanshu Sharma and Divy Nidhi Sharma, the film is set to hit cinemas across India on October 16, 2026, just ahead of Dussehra.
