What is Savi about?

Divya portrays the titular character Savi, a housewife who is forced to take action after her husband (Harshvardhan), who is imprisoned for a crime he did not commit. Anil's character assists her in breaking into the prison and rescuing her spouse from death threats that emerge within.

While talking about her role, Divya shared, “My role in 'Savi' is unlike anything I've done before. Essaying this character was both challenging and intriguing and because the character is very layered, you will see different shades and sides of Savi.”

"The depth of her resilience and the intensity of her journey truly captivated me. And can't wait for you'll to see the trailer. It's a high-octane thriller and I'm so happy with the response we received on the teaser. I'm confident that the film will keep everyone on the edge of their seats," she added.
