Wheel and deal

By Vickey Lalwani, Mumbai Mirror | Dec 5, 2013, 12.00 AM IST

Anushka Sharma, who turned producer with Navdeep Singh's upcoming film NH 10, is going out of her way to stick to the film's budget.

The actress, who also plays the lead in the film, has given herself a big pay cut; she will only charge onethird of her market price to star in the film.

The 25-year-old will also forego the producer's fee.

A source close to the development told Mirror, "Anushka likes the script, so she decided to take these big cuts. In turn, she will share profits subject to their realisation."

Apart from NH 10, Anushka has two other films, Rajkumar Hirani's P.K. and Anurag Kashyap's Bombay Velvet.

When contacted, Anushka's spokesperson confirmed the story.

Still don't know why she's eager to turn producer so early on, especially with Phantom already producing it, but good for her I guess.

Deepika is doing profit sharing for Finding Fanny too.

If this film flops, she's going to regret it big time.

I think it's good for actors to take on other roles in film making. It makes you learn about different aspects of the craft.

I actually really miss Anush. I found her to be the most promising actress when she first debuted. She had that kind of lasting impression. But then I don't know what happened, whether she made bad career choices or another reason...but she's just completely faded out after JTHJ. I'm sad. I hope she comes back with a bang. It will be such a shame letting go of someone who had immense potential as an actress in today's generation.

If she's pretty much self-funding the movie by both being a producer and cutting her costs, hopefully it means that the script really is great and worth putting so much belief in. Sounds like a good idea on paper in every way and so long as the script is good, there's nothing but to gain. If nothing, it could turn out to be an experiment.

And if at this stage in her career, she's ready to not only fund but cut costs because she wants to do the movie or have it make the screen...then I guess it's somewhat of a nod to the intention of doing a role that gives her acting scope. That sounds good...make roles for yourself if they don't.

Hopefully she won't do Maneesh's movie on the flipside. I don't know if he can move beyond rom-com and do something mature, so she's better off doing other stuff else even if experimenting and taking a risk.
