'Main Sherni' also shows women in different lights, working different jobs. Teachers, police, entrepreneurs, volunteers, and others were also shown to highlight the massive contribution women have been making in different sectors of society.
According to the ">trailer, actor Vidya Balan will be seen on screen as a forest police officer who is searching for a wild tigress. Away from the glam, Balan has to work among men who constantly belittle her because of her gender.
