Yami Gautam's 'Nayi Naveli' Teaser Drops - And She's Playing Something You've Never Seen Before

Mumbai: There's a new teaser doing the rounds, and it's got people talking for all the right reasons. Amazon MGM Studios and Colour Yellow have dropped the first look at Nayi Naveli, and if the reactions online are anything to go by, this one's going to be hard to ignore.

At the centre of it all is Yami Gautam Dhar, stepping into a role unlike anything she's played before. The teaser opens innocently enough - a regular household, everyday chatter - before someone drops the line that changes everything: "Bhabhi is a daayan." From there, the film pivots into a mix of suspense, dark humour and family drama that keeps you guessing right up to the final frame.

What's drawing the most attention is Yami's transformation. Early reactions suggest her character is a sharp departure from anything in her filmography so far, and the teaser deliberately keeps things mysterious enough to fuel the curiosity.

Behind the camera, the project brings together a solid team: Anand L. Rai and Himanshu Sharma are producing, Balaji Mohan is in the director's chair, and the screenplay comes from Himanshu Sharma and Divya Nidhi Sharma. G.V. Prakash Kumar has composed the music.

Speaking about the film, the makers described it as a story that weaves together family ties, emotion, mystery and entertainment into something fresh. Yami herself called the role deeply personal, saying audiences are in for a version of her they haven't seen on screen before.

Nayi Naveli is set to hit theatres on October 16, 2026, timed with Dussehra - and going by the buzz around the teaser, it's shaping up to be one of the more talked-about festive releases this year.
