Actress Anushka Sharma says at this time she can not think about herself with out her manufacturing ventures corresponding to NH10, Pari, Phillauri, Bulbbul, Paatal Lok. “I was told by many that I should concentrate on my film career and not get distracted by production. Today, I can’t imagine myself without NH10, Pari, Phillauri, Bulbbul, Paatal Lok and the exciting projects that lie ahead,” Anushka stated. She added: “The journey started with NH10 and while it started with a bang, I can tell you that I was a clueless producer”.
Anushka says she was younger, and that she needed to actually “take time out to understand the ropes of production”.
She added: “I’m thankful that I had my brother Karnesh (Ssharma) who shared my vision and passion of giving clutter-breaking content to audiences. I had a head full of dreams and my brother really fanned my thoughts and brought his strong content sensibilities to the fore. We were and are a great team.”
Anushka was simply 25 when she determined to take the step.
“I’m glad I took the punt at 25 and if I have been able to change the discourse of being a female producer in town who is always looking to be disruptive, I consider myself fortunate,” she stated.
Anushka added that her movie “NH10” was an try to break-away from stereotyped cinema, stereotyped movies with girls protagonists, and wow audiences.
She stated: “NH10 was a necessary film to shake things up for actresses. NH10 showed how a woman can fight to survive, can stand up for herself. I’m glad I became a producer with an important film in our cinematic history.”
The actress, who simply welcomed her daughter Vamika together with her cricketer husband Virat Kohli, is glad that she selected to be an actor-producer and considers herself fortunate that she was profitable doing each.
She added: “It definitely helped in showing our industry that actresses are not unidimensional. It was an important step to change the narrative in our industry.”
