Anushka to debut opposite SRK in Yashraj's next film

Mumbai (PTI): Ramp model Anushka Sharma from Bangalore will make her silver screen debut opposite Shah Rukh Khan in Yashraj movie "Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi".
Making an announcement here, Yash Chopra, Chairman of Yashraj Films said the 19-year-old has been identified to play the female lead.

"Hopefully, the announcement will end all the speculation and conjecture that had started about the identity of the female lead ever since the film was announced," he said.
With "Rab Ne..", Aditya Chopra takes the directorial baton after eight years. Anushka has no acting experience except ramp modelling in Bangalore, Chopra said.

Earlier, it was reported that Sonam Kapoor, daughter of Bollywood actor Anil Kapoor would be cast opposite SRK.

Yash Chopra said, "We were looking first and foremost for someone who could truly embody the spirit of small town Punjab and we know we have found her in Anushka. And while she has no previous acting experience, we have seen that unique spark in her that makes us confident that she will be a standout even opposite Shah Rukh."

'Rab ne Bana di Jodi' will go on the floors on May 16 and will hit theatres worldwide on December 12.
