Two much of Anushka

Her first home-production, NH 10, has been pushed to early next year.
Anushka Sharma's first home-production NH10, a co-production with Anurag Kashyap, was supposed to open on September 12. However, Mirror has learnt that the film has been pushed to next year. The makers felt that there would be too much of the actress this year, with two big releases, the Aamir Khan-starrer P.K. and the Ranbir Kapoor-starrer Bombay Velvet, arriving in quick succession.
Revealed a source close to the production, "Although the film is complete, the makers wanted a date which offered no competition. Moreover, Anushka as a co-producer felt that three films in a year would be a complete overkill."
There is hardly a two-week gap between P.K. and Bombay Velvet. While the Aamir Khan-starrer releases on December 19, the Anurag Kashyap-directed Bombay Velvet comes just two weeks before it, on November 28.
Confirming the same, director Navdeep Singh told Mirror, "We haven't locked a date yet, but yes, the film will be pushed ahead. The producers are looking for a clear window. This year there is a clutter of big films and we don't want to be overpowered by them. It's the marketing team's call, they want the film to have a good run."
When we quizzed Vikramaditya Motwane, the other coproducer, he replied saying, "We will announce a release date soon."
