Known for her fearless role choices and immersive performances, she shines across genres—from historical epics to intense psychological thrillers. Sheena brings authenticity to every frame. Each transformation leaves a lasting impact, and her latest Pan-Indian psychological thriller, Jhatasya Maranam Dhruvam, about to release nationwide, in 5 languages, has everyone talking. Here’s a quick visual journey through some of her most loved and talked-about avatars. Let’s take a closer look at some of Sheena Chohan most loved and talked-about character posters, each reflecting a distinct phase of her artistic journey.
1. Jhatasya Maranam Dhruvam – Anusha, the Fearless Cop
One of Sheena Chohan’s most powerful transformations comes in the upcoming Pan-Indian film Jhatasya Maranam Dhruvam (JMD), slated for release in five languages. The film is a psychological thriller, layered with intense drama, that steadily builds anticipation for its gripping narrative and atmospheric storytelling. In the striking character poster, Sheena is seen holding a gun, her eyes reflecting strength, resolve, and inner conflict. She portrays Anushaa, a determined police officer, sharing screen space with JD Chakravarthy. Her commanding presence hints at a performance driven by intensity and emotional depth. Directed by Shravan Jonnada and produced by Malkapuram Sivakumar under the banner of Suraksh Entertainment, JMD promises to showcase Sheena in a raw, power-packed avatar—one that firmly establishes her as a force in the thriller genre.
2. Sant Tukaram – Avali Jija Bai, the Emotional Core
Sheena Chohan’s big Hindi-Bollywood debut, Sant Tukaram, earned her widespread recognition and critical acclaim. The historical film, based on the life of saint-poet Sant Tukaram, features Sheena as Avali Jija Bai, the strong-willed and devoted wife of the saint, played by Subodh Bhave. Directed by Aditya Om, the film beautifully captures her character as a practical, grounded woman balancing domestic responsibilities while supporting her husband’s spiritual journey. Critics and audiences alike praised her performance as the “emotional backbone of the film.”
Visually, the transformation was striking. Draped in a simple grey saree, Sheena embraced an authentic rural Maharashtrian look—minimal, earthy, and deeply rooted in history. This role proved her versatility and her ability to disappear completely into character.
3. Bhaayava – Lilith, the Dark and Defiant
Perhaps her boldest transformation yet came with the VFX-heavy streaming series Bhaayava, produced by I Will Productions, where Sheena portrays Lilith—a powerful and complex mythological figure. Lilith, known as Adam’s first wife in biblical lore, was banished from Eden for refusing to submit. Over time, she has emerged as a symbol of independence, rebellion, and feminine power, often depicted as a dark, supernatural force.
In the poster, Sheena appears in a commanding devil avatar, with dark elements framing her presence—intense, otherworldly, and unforgettable. The role demanded six hours of daily makeup, along with rigorous acrobatic training, as she was hoisted nearly fifteen feet in the air, embodying an evil superwoman. The performance showcased not just physical endurance, but also Sheena’s willingness to explore complex, unconventional characters.
4. Sheena Chohan on Her Choices
Speaking about her journey and transformations, Sheena shares:
“I never want to be typecast as an actress who can do only one kind of role. I want to experiment, learn new things, and understand my characters deeply. This helps me grow as an actress. From playing Avail Jija Bai—calm, positive, and inspiring—and then transforming into Lilith, the Devil, and now an intense cop in JMD, each role is completely different. That variation of bringing out the character’s arc in the magic of storytelling is what I truly love as an actor.”
5. What’s Next? A Promising Year Ahead
With an exciting slate ahead—including her Tamil debut Arjunanin Allirani, written by acclaimed Tamil author B. Jeyamohan (known for Ponniyin Selvan: I), directed by Vino Vikraman Pillai (who directed Kafir), and featuring music by legendary composer Ilaiyaraaja and the Hollywood film Nomad—Sheena Chohan shows no signs of slowing down. From historical elegance, epic folk tales, to mythological depth and contemporary intensity, she continues to reinvent herself with fearless versatility. With Jhatasya Maranam Dhruvam adding another powerful turn to her journey, it’s clear this is just the beginning of an ever-evolving, inspiring career.
