The official trailer of Anushka Shetty’s Nishabdham/Silence was released on September 21, about 10 days ahead of its world premiere on Amazon Prime Video. The 2.3-minute video begins with Anushka's character entering a “haunted” house along with Madhavan's character, in search of a “Josephine Wood” painting.
While the actor will be playing an artist with speech and hearing disabilities in this film, Madhavan’s character will be seen playing a violinist. The trailer has enough spooky moments to keep the viewer hooked in. Midway into it we are introduced to Shalini Pandey’s character Sonali, who seems to have a close bond with Anushka’s character. We also learn that Sonali has gone missing.
The trailer puts together an intense police investigation where Hollywood actor Michael Madsen comes in along with actor Anjali who also appears to play a police detective. The film will premiere worldwide on October 2 on the online streaming platform.
The Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam, Hindi and English multilingual has been directed by Hemant Madhukar and produced by Kona Venkat and TG Vishwa Prasad under their respective banners Kona Film Corporation and People Media Factory.

The team gave it a long thought before choosing to release the film on a digital platform and skip theatrical release. They even conducted online polls to gain an insight on the audience’s choice. The online poll, in fact, favoured OTT release.
