And the role has gone to Bangalorean girl Anushka, who has been a regular ramp model for last few years and has also done ad campaigns for Whisper, Silk n’ Shine, and Fiat Palio.
Aditya was looking for a girl with Punjabi features for RNBDJ. He had reportedly zeroed down on three girls but was not able to make up his mind. He had even asked SRK to pick one of the three girls as his heroine, but the superstar had refused to do so, claiming he was “uncomfortable” in pick and choose.
But someone had to be finalized. That lucky gal is Anushka.
Even though she has no acting experience, the Chopras apparently feel Anushka is best for the role of a Punjabi girl in the film.
‘Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi’ marks the return of Aditya Chopra to direction after eight years. The film is set to go on the floors in mid May. The Chopras are eyeing an yearend release for the film.
