Taking inspiration from the West, where comic characters, like Mickey Mouse, make great sales for the fashion industry, Anushka Sharma hopes our desi Suppandi can also acquire global fame. The upcoming collection of her clothing line, Nush, will feature the character from Tinkle comics across a gamut of pieces.

A source, who has worked on the clothing line, tells mid-day that making Suppandi the star of the collection was Sharma’s brainchild. “While brainstorming on this year’s collection, Anushka came up with the idea of celebrating Indian summer. She said that, as a child, one thing she loved doing in this season was laze around at noon and read the comic books. She loved reading about Suppandi.” In an effort to promote Indian culture, Sharma, the source says, wants to promote the character like the West does Mickey Mouse and other iconic caricatures.

The line is scheduled to be available from May 9. While the actor will head to Alabama for a month-long schedule of her next film, Zero, she will use her time on the international shore to promote her attires too. “While she will promote the line extensively when she returns, even when in the US, she will sport pieces from the collection,” the source adds.

Aren’t they just amazing? If you thought you were Virat’s biggest fan, after watching Anushka here, you might want to rethink that.

Anushka Sharma: Have always tried experimenting with my roles

Anushka’s upcoming Bollywood projects include Zero and the biopic on Sanjay Dutt

Actress Anushka Sharma says experimenting with roles has been a mainstay in her career from the start. Anushka spoke to the media here on Monday on the sidelines of an event organised by Standard Chartered Bank, where she was announced its brand ambassador. In a promotional campaign for her latest endorsement, Anushka plays the triple role of a daughter, mother and grandmother.

On the experience, Anushka said: “I have always tried to experiment with my roles right from the beginning.

“This year, I am doing films in which all my characters are very different from one another in terms of physical and emotional appearance. So, when you get to do that in an advertisement, you feel great.

“Playing a triple role was something which I had never done before, so I was very excited. It takes a lot of time while doing prosthetic make-up, but the end result was great. So, I was all up for it.”

Anushka’s upcoming Bollywood projects include Zero and the biopic on Sanjay Dutt.

“I am really happy that this year, I am doing different kind of films and both films are going to release very soon. As far as the Dutt biopic is concerned, that’s one film that the audience will be very excited about and will be happy while watching it.

“I recently saw a teaser of it and I really liked it. I am doing a cameo in it. Nevertheless, I am really looking forward to watching the film.”

The actress-producer also shared her thoughts on the ordinance to introduce death penalty for rapists of children, after the nationwide uproar on Kathua and Unnao rape cases.

“I was deeply hurt and affected by the incident. Even now, when I think or talk about it, I feel disgusted and extremely emotional. I feel the most severe punishment has to be meted out to the people involved.

“The most severe punishment should be served to those who spoil something as innocent as a child because it’s the worst thing that a human being can do.”

Responding on the ordinance to amend Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act, Bollywood star Anushka Sharma affirmed that she is in ‘1000 percent’ support of the ordinance. The Centre on April 21 cleared the amendment in the POCSO Act to award death sentence to the rapists of children below the age of 12.

“The most severe punishment has to be vetted out to the people involved. So, I am in absolute support of it, 1000 percent. Child rape is the worst thing a human being can do,” the Sultan star said at an event on Monday.

Meanwhile, Anushka Sharma also expressed her disgust on the Kathua rape case where an eight-year-old girl, belonging to a nomadic Muslim tribe, was allegedly abducted, drugged, gang-raped, tortured and killed in January.

“I, like everyone in this country, am deeply hurt and affected by the incident. Even now, when I think or talk about it, I feel disgusted and extremely emotional,” said Anushka.

Anushka Sharma's Personal Cycle Wala Is A Handsome Man With Six Pack Abs

 Celebrities
Mar 062018
 

It’s always refreshing to see new on-screen couples, especially in a film that has ‘simplicity’ at the core of it. So when we learned about the upcoming film ‘Sui Dhaga’ starring Varun Dhawan and Anushka Sharma, we were beyond excited to see what the duo has in store for us.

Recently, we got our first look at their characters in the film- Mauji and Mamta, and it left us intrigued.

Meet Mauji and Mamta on 28th September! #SuiDhaaga | @AnushkaSharma | @Varun_dvn | @SuiDhaagaFilm | #SuiDhaagaFirstLook pic.twitter.com/uNfwm0HSxo

This came as a surprise because first, this is the first time these two actors will be sharing screen space and secondly, because we have never seen them in this avatar. Seeing Varun with his old-school moustache and retro shirt and a plain salwar-kameez clad Anushka made us believe that if not anything else, this movie is definetly going to be relatable one.

A post shared by AnushkaSharma1588 (@anushkasharma) on Feb 12, 2018 at 9:38am PST

Reinstating this fact, Yash Raj Films posted another photo of the two from the sets of the film.

It shows an evidently exhausted looking Varun Dhawan riding a bicycle with Anushka Sharma sitting at the back. Although that’s a part of the everyday routine for a lot of people in the country, what is not normal is riding a cycle for 10 long hours. But Varun and Anushka did just that for the film in the scorching heat of Chanderi.

Take a look:

Mauji takes Mamta for a cycle ride! @anushkasharma rode pillion as @varundvn cycled for close to 10 hours in the sweltering heat at Chanderi. #SuiDhaaga | @suidhaagafilm #varundhawan #anushkasharma #varunanushka #bts #shootdiaries #mauji #maujimamta #instagramhub #sharatkatariya #maneeshsharma #yrf

A post shared by Yash Raj Films (@yrf) on Mar 5, 2018 at 10:00pm PST

While that must have been hard on both of them, Varun also injured himself while shooting for a scene that needed him to tumble down a flight of stairs. Well, whosoever thought acting is easy and all glamorous should take note of this.

The film is inspired by the ‘Make in India’ campaign and is set for a 28th September release this year. And we definitely can’t wait to see how the actors’ hard work bears fruit.

How Ranbir Kapoor was conned into believing Anushka Sharma plays a dog woman in

Clover Wootton, who designed the eerie look for actor Anushka Sharma in “Pari”, says she once lied about the actor’s role to Ranbir Kapoor

Clover Wootton, who designed the eerie look for actor Anushka Sharma in “Pari”, says she once lied about the actor’s role to Ranbir Kapoor. Clover, who is also working on the Dutt biopic with Ranbir, decided to trick the star into believing that his “Ae Dil Hai Mushkil” co-actor was playing the character of a dog woman in the upcoming movie.
“Given that I’m working on The Sanjay Dutt biopic and Anushka being a very good friend of Ranbir, she had anticipated that he will be asking about ‘Pari’. Between us we decided to plan a prank on him. We decided to fill him in with some lies and see how far the story goes…

“So when Ranbir asked me about ‘Pari’, I told him that Anushka is playing a dog woman – half human and half dog. I went on to tell him how much she is working towards getting into her character, and how she is observing Dude (her pet dog) to get it all right,” the look designer said in a statement. Clover said she and Anushka let Ranbir be under the false impression, which resulted in her “Sui Dhaaga” co-star Varun Dhawan also falling prey to the Chinese whispers.

“After giving all that nonsense, we let Ranbir stew. After, four or five months, Anushka and I met again for ‘Sui Dhaaga’, which stars Varun Dhawan. And, the first thing he asked her was – ‘I heard you are playing a dog in ‘Pari’, how’s that going?’ “We still laugh our hearts out thinking about where it came from!” she added. Produced by Clean Slate Films and presented by KriArj Entertainment and Kyta Productions, “Pari” releases tomorrow. The movie, directed by Prosit Roy, will be released worldwide by Pooja Films.

A scary 'I Love You' from Anushka Sharma in Pari's third screamer

Just before the clock struck midnight to usher in the Valentine’s Day, Anushka Sharma put out an ‘I Love You’ message on her social media handle through Pari’s third screamer

Just before the clock struck midnight to usher in the Valentine’s Day, Anushka Sharma released an ‘I Love You’ message on her social media handle through Pari’s third screamer. With it, the actress reminded her fans that the trailer of her soon-to-release atmospheric horror flick ‘Pari’ will be out tomorrow! The short video shows Anushka and Parambrata Chatterjee sitting on a couch, where, Anushka tells him ‘I Love You’ in a dreadful tone. Later, she hallucinates herself drenched in blood on the other side of the couch, which remains a mystery!

Watch the screamer here:

[embedded content]

The makers of Anushka Sharma’s ‘Pari’ had released the film’s teaser that intrigued everyone! Anushka as a ghost is at her best and reminds us that she is an ocean of versatility and can pull off any character with perfection. The teaser showed Anushka’s ghost, who harasses Parambrata Chatterjee’s character with her baritone voice; seemingly revenge! What got one hooked and curious is Anushka’s encounter with the real ghost in a ‘bloodied’ look that spells various shades to her character. Amidst the era of remakes, biopics and book adaptations, ‘Pari’ comes as a whisk of fresh air in the ‘horror’ territory – a genre challenging to ace. However, the teaser looks promising.

Directed by debutant Prosit Roy, the film also stars Parambrata Chatterjee, Rajat Kapoor and Ritabhari Chakraborty. ‘Pari’, produced by Clean Slate Films, is presented by KriArj Entertainment and Kyta Productions and will be released worldwide by Pooja Films on March 02, 2018.

Their looks are bound to be a talking point given how authentic they have stayed to the milieu of the film.

Both champion actors, Varun and Anushka have been paired for the first time and are definitely the most-awaited on-screen jodis of 2018.
