Anushka Sharma to play Alcoholic in PK

Here's to audience who have been patiently waiting to see Anushka essay a character other than the loud, bubbly, happy-go-lucky girl. We already know that she has been confirmed as the lead female for 'Peekay' and her role this time would be to play of a girl who's an alcoholic. She will be working opposite Aamir Khan and the newcomer, Sushant Singh Rajput.

I hope she does it well and doesn't ham. Is everyone an alcoholic in PK? If I am not mistaken even Aamir is supposed to play a drunkard social activist.

I don't know what they're upto. If not for Raju Hirani, I'd have found such stuff weird and it would give me doubts about the film.

Very few actors are able to handle alcoholic acts well, without coming across as hamming, OTT or plain irritating. Amitabh's act in Sharaabi is still the closest to bearable alcoholics onscreen. Otherwise everyone seems so caricaturish and artificial even in small drunk scenes!

Another best actress of the year?

in other words...she is going to be playing herself in the movie 😆

Since everyone doing a challenging role almost gets there without a doubt.

Best actress will happen only if she has a sizeable role in the film (which is rarely the case in a Hirani film for an actress). With so many others stuffed in - Aamir, Boman, Sanjay, Sushant etc., I wonder what significant role will she have!

She completely flopped in the drunk bit in Matru..i tried b biased as she is my fab..but it was realy bad..like.. 😲 🤢 really bad..it ws overacting..underacting .don evm knw wht sh3 tried 2 do? 😆

But she ws diff in bbb..and Jthj..don know why ppl say it ws the same..but her best was Rab ne..according 2 me...

I find her highly overrated. Only liked her in BBB. Uni dimensional acting.

I found her drunk act in MKBKM really good actually, it was quite funny.
