Anushka Sharma’s juggling act

Actor working on ‘Sultan’, ‘Ae Dil Hai Mushkil’ and ‘Phillauri’ simultaneously

Bollywood star Anushka Sharma – who was last seen in 2015’s Dil Dhadakne Do – is currently juggling three different films at the same time, reported Indian Express. The actor will be seeing essaying the character of a female wrestler from Haryana in upcoming Yash Raj production Sultan, which also stars Salman Khan. The film - which is being directed by Ali Abbas Zafar - is expected to release on July 6, with the shooting to be completed soon, as per sources.

Once she wraps up shooting for Sultan, the PK actor will fly to Jaipur to work on the final phase of the Karan Johar directorial, Ae Dil Hai Mushkil. The romantic drama will also feature actors Ranbir Kapoor and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan in lead roles and is expected to hit the screens on October 28 this year. Sharma will once again portray a Muslim girl in the film, going by the name of Alizeh this time. The mega-budget project has been shot at multiple locations including London, Paris, Vienna and different parts of India.

The actor is reportedly also in the process of reading the script for Phillauri, an upcoming romantic comedy movie which will be directed by Anshai Lal. Sharma will be producing the movie and playing the female lead role opposite Suraj Sharma as well. The shooting is expected to commence in April 2016.

Sharma has been keeping busy since her breakup with Indian cricketer Virat Kohli following a two-year courtship. The actor recently established her own production company by the name of Clean Slate Films, which released the highly acclaimed NH10 in 2015. With a lot on her plate at the moment, Sharma clearly has no intentions of pausing, as she continues to release one blockbuster after the other.
