I don’t
know why everyone to ask me - Anushka Sharma
‘Badmaash Company’ has
proven to be a good success at the box office and in the process of that
happening; Anushka Sharma has now maintained her hit record. After ‘Rab
Ne Bana Di Jodi’ where she scored a six with Shah Rukh Khan, she has hit
a boundary with Shahid Kapoor now too. In the meanwhile, work has already
begun with her next film with Yash Raj Films.
By working on her third
film with the production house which is known for its three film contracts
with both the actors and the directors, is she heaving a sigh of relief?
After all now she would be free from her contract and can afford to pick
and choose newer projects at her will?
"There was never any exclusivity
contract to begin with so I don’t know why everyone continues to ask me
the same old question of ‘being free from a contract’", says Anushka in
an exasperated tone, "Puhleeze, doesn’t the very fact that I started working
in ‘Patiala House’ even before the release of ‘Badmaash Company’, clearly
indicate that I wasn’t kept on hold by anyone?"
But then Yash Raj Films
hasn’t quite repeated many of their heroines in the recent past whereas
Anushka would be seen in as many as three films of theirs in a matter of
two years. Doesn’t that reflect on the fact that she has been doing films
only with them?
"That shows their confidence
in me and my comfort level with them", says Anushka, "Tomorrow, if they
offer me more good films, I would do even seven films. And in any case,
I have also started working on ‘Patiala House’ with Akshay Kumar. In fact,
I recently completed a schedule with them in London as well. So doesn’t
that state that there was no binding by Yash Raj Films when it came to
me working with other film makers?"
So when are we looking
at the completion of ”Shaadi Mubarak Ho’, her third film with Yash Raj
Films?
"First and foremost, the
film is not called ‘Shaadi Mubarak Ho’; it is still untitled", clarifies
Anushka, "Yes, it is 90% complete and should release before the end of
the year. If everything goes well, I would have three releases this year."
