Anushka Sharma is known to take
calculated risks, as an actress and a
producer. While Jab Harry Met Sejal
promotions are keeping her busy, The
actress is simultaneously finishing shoot
for her next production venture Pari.
The first few posters have created a lot of
intrigue. Not much is known about Pari
yet and Anushka smiles, "that was always
the plan.
The intrigue factor
Anushka says, "It's an interesting way to
show a film. Whatever intrigue is there for
the film, is exactly what we are looking
forward to. Things are in place and the
more we proceed, more will be divulged
about the film. I am excited to take up a
genre like this because I love watching it
as a viewer, too. Though the poster may
give the impression that Pari is a horror or
thriller, Anushka says, "If I tell you Pari is a
love story, you will be surprised. But it is.
It's not something which you can define
or confine into one genre. Horror's always
a treatment and atmospheric horror is
just brilliant, which is what Pari is all
about.
Genre jargon
Thrillers as well as horror are tricky
genres. Most Hindi films in these spaces
have failed to work. Anushka argues,
"Love stories also don't work at times, but
there are lesser examples to make here. So
you can say horror mein aisa hota hai.
This genre isn't one that has been tried-
and-tested. I believe it's got an untapped
potential. India watches a lot of horror
and it's an interesting space. Horror
doesn't always have to be about ghosts
coming out of closets. It's a theme. It's the
treatment and that's what is exciting. This
genre has not been explored too well in
Bollywood, which is why I got into this. I
want people to always expect the
unconventional from me.
Being a producer
Along with Anushka, there are other
actresses, who are slowly jumping on the
production bandwagon. The actress is
happy with this change. "It's great,
obviously, if people are doing that. When I
started doing it, it was not something
anybody else was doing. I was young, 25,
and I guess in the early stages of my
career. It might have been daunting, but
as a person, I love to enter unchartered
territories. Somewhere, I found some
inner conviction to do it. I'm happy that
has led other people to follow this. It's
good that people are taking charge of
their own careers and making maximum
use of their position as stars, she says.
