Yes, Anushka was ‘the’ original choice for the film that also stars Katrina Kaif in main lead. Is she going to play a character on the lines of Rani Mukherjee’s role in Veer-Zaara? The suspense lingers for now.

What’s more, the film is going to be directed by the veteran director Yash Chopra, who will return to film direction after seven years.

Anushka is excited and can’t stop counting her blessings. It’s a rare chance and the actress is quoted as saying,

“It is a great honour to be in a Yash Chopra film and this film is the high point of my career. I look forward to sharing screen space with Shah Rukh and Katrina.”

Anushka also has no qualms for not being offered Ishaqzaade as she was very well aware that the film was supposed to be made with the newcomers, and she certainly is not one after giving hits Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi and Band Baaja Baaraat.

Anushka Sharma’s is also excited about her first film with Vishal Bhardwaj. Matru Ki Biwi Ka Man Dola is going to be a laugh riot and she plays a loud chick in the film.
