Anushka Sharma’s next production may star Ayushmann Khurrana in lead

Anushka Sharma who turned producer this year with ‘NH10’ is ready to start her next project. The actress who is planning multiple projects as a producer has apparently signed Ayushmann Khurrana as the lead in one of them.

This film would be a rom-com making it a new genre for producer Anushka whose last film ‘NH10’ was a thriller. The film will mark the debut of Anshai Lal as a director who has been associated with films like ‘Pyaar Ke Side Effects’ and ‘Housefull’ as an Assistant Director. “Anshai’s script is a funny, happy romance with loads of humour and is also content and technique-heavy. A proper feature film with songs, too,” Anushka said.

Reportedly if sources are to believed Anushka will star opposite Ayushmann in this film making their first pairing on-screen. Anushka Sharma’s brother Karnesh is supervising the project. The project will probably start shooting in mid-2016.

This will be the second time for Ayushmann Khurrana after his debut film ‘Vicky Donor’ to star in a project produced by an actor turned producer. ‘Vicky Donor’ was the debut venture of John Abraham as a producer.

Currently, Ayushmann is shooting for Sameer Sharma’s romantic film based in Punjab ‘Manmarziyan’ with his ‘Dum Laga Ke Haisha’ co-star Bhumi Pednekar whereas Anushka Sharma is busy with Karan Johar’s directorial ‘Ae Dil Hai Mushkil’ alongside Ranbir Kapoor.
