Anushka Shetty has always been a no-nonsense actor. She has been called 'Sweetie' for good. As such, false rumours about her alleged selfish game plan have upset the makers of 'Nishabdham'.

As per some recent media reports, the producers of the thriller have been wanting to sell 'Nishabdham' to some streaming giant (for a direct OTT release), only to be obstructed by Anushka because she allegedly wants the film to have a theatrical release first. The makers on Tuesday dismissed the reports and said that Anushka has been a pillar of support.

“From the beginning to till date, our stars and technicians have been the pillars of support to us through good and bad times, especially Anushka Shetty garu. Please do not believe in any baseless rumours," they said.

The film was to release on April 2. It will lock a new theatrical release date after the lockdown.

Directed by Hemanth Madhukar, it stars Madhavan and others in key roles.
