All of her productions won’t feature her, clarifies Anushka Sharma

An event manager in ‘Band Baja Baarat’, a sales girl in ‘Ladies vs Ricky Bahl’ , a film-maker in ‘Jab Tak Hai Jaan‘, a wrestler in ‘Sultan’; these are just a few of the vivid roles Anushka Sharma has performed so far. However, ‘Phillauri’ is different, for she plays a beautiful ghost this time around!

After ‘NH10’, this will be the second venture of Anushka and her brother Karnesh’s production house ‘Clean Slate Films’. Incidentally, both of them star Anushka in lead. Will this be the case with all of her productions?

During a conversation with TOI, Anushka rubbished this. (Also Read: Here’s something that Anushka Sharma religiously follows!)

“Not at all! It’s not about that and that wouldn’t be very intelligent also. I can’t possibly be doing all films and we plan on making more films, say two a year. If I fit the part, then why not? But at the same time, we are also pitching films to other actors where I don’t fit in. I want to clarify this fact – it’s not that I’ve turned producer so that I can act in all my films,” the ‘Sultan’ actress said.

“If I was making films for myself, then I would probably call my production house something else. It’s called ‘Clean Slate Films’ because it’s an ideology. ‘Clean Slate’ means to start anew without any prejudices or any so-called baggage of a hit. Right now, we are early players; we are like a startup. So maybe it’s easier to make films starring me at the moment. But when people will gain more confidence in us as a company, I am sure we will work with more and more actors,” she added.
