The actress's youth and her connections with YRF land her a role in Yash's untitled project with Katrina Kaif and Shah Rukh Khan.
It might appear that she is second fiddle to Katrina Kaif, but Anushka Sharma knows what's good for her.
The rapport that the young actress shares with YRF have made her an obvious choice for directors Yash and Aditya Chopra's much-talked about untitled project. Sharma will now join Shah Rukh Khan and Katrina Kaif, in Yash's directorial project since Veer Zaara, in 2004.
Our source explained, "The script requires a strong actor for the second lead in the film. Yash and Aditya were scouting around and then thought that Anushka seemed to be an obvious choice, for more than one reason.
The role required an actress, who looks younger than Katrina Kaif. And few actresses fit that requirement. Anushka was just the right choice. Plus, Yash Chopra is really fond of her."
If all goes as planned, this film will mark Anushka's fifth time working with YRF. Also, she is the only actress to work with both Yash and Aditya Chopra at the same time, unlike Kajol, Rani Mukerji, Aishwarya Rai and Preity Zinta, who have only worked with one of the two directors.
Despite repeated attempts, YRF remained unavailable for comment.
