Anushka Sharma who made her debut with SRK in Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi helped Anurag Kashyap set up a meeting with the actor. The meeting took place at SRK's London house, not too long ago. A source told TOI, "After Anushka signed Bombay Velvet; Anurag developed a great equation with her. Post the initial script reading sessions, they started discussing other projects and that is when Anurag happened to discuss a script which Anushka thought was a perfect fit for SRK." Anushka told her director that as soon as she gets the opportunity, she will co-ordinate a meeting with Shah Rukh and she soon fulfilled the promise."Recently when SRK was at his London home, Anushka dropped by with Anurag in tow. Anurag was finding it difficult to fix a meeting with the actor in Mumbai because of SRK's busy schedule. And usually the actor's script reading sessions run into 6-7 seven days.

So at the London house, Anurag and SRK spoke at length about movies and the kind of projects that excite them. Anushka was also present during the interaction. At the end of the discussion the director promised SRK that after Bombay Velvet, he will write his next script for him. The meeting ended on an optimistic note," added the source. Anushka is not the first leading lady to act as a go-between directors and superstars. When Katrina Kaif organised the first meeting between Kabir Khan and Salman Khan and Ek Tha Tiger was born.
