Sultan actress Anushka Sharma on a roll by working with directors who matter Anushka Sharma

From being a part of late legend Yash Chopra’s last film Jab Tak Hain Jaan to working with Karan Johar, who directs her in her forthcoming Ae Dil Hai Mushkil — Anushka Sharma, in eight years since her Bollywood debut, has been working with all the directors who matter in tinsel town. Ali Abbas Zafar, who has directed her in her latest film Sultan, says she is immensely talented. “It’s good to work with people, especially with talented people,” Salman had once said when asked about his experience of working with Anushka, who comes from an army background.

The actress, whose only connect to movies before she stepped in front of the camera was that she watched them, has been on a roll since Yash Raj Films launched her with “Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi” — an Aditya Chopra directorial — in 2008. And she has always been thankful to the team for believing in her. Her second impressive role was in “Band Baaja Baaraat” with Maneesh Sharma, who made his debut with the movie in 2010 and has since become a well-known name having helmed “Ladies vs Ricky Bahl”, “Shuddh Desi Romance” and the Shah Rukh Khan starrer “Fan”.


The fact that she has worked with filmmakers as varied as Vishal Bhardwaj (“Matru Ki Bijlee Ka Mandola”), Anurag Kashyap (“Bombay Velvet”), Rajkumar Hirani (“PK”) and Zoya Akhtar (“Dil Dhadakne Do”) has given the film fraternity and the audience  at her versatility. When she turned producer with “NH10”, she ensured she made the most of working with “Manorama Six Feet Under” fame director Navdeep Singh.


Interestingly, Anushka has already worked with the top three Khans of Bollywood — SRK, Aamir Khan (“PK”) and with Salman in “Sultan”. It has been a learning experience for her.
