Anushka Sharma has completed 10 years in the movie
business and the actor believes the reason for her successful run are the
"unconventional" choices she has made as a performer, producer and an
entrepreneur. Anushka, who carved a niche with films like Band Baaja
Baaraat, PK, Sultan, NH10, made her debut opposite Shah Rukh Khan in 2008
blockbuster Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi.
"I have always made unconventional choices because it
comes from my instincts. I have been successful with those unconventional
choices. I have made a career with unconventional choices and that's why I have
created a different standing for myself in the film industry," Anushka
told PTI.
"I
believe luck favours the brave. I wasn't doing it thinking it is risky. I was
doing it because that made sense for me. For me following my instincts is an
easier thing," she added. The producer of critically acclaimed films
like NH 10, Phillauri and Pari said the focus
on content has helped her company Clean Slate Films flourish.
"Whether
content is in a big or a small film, it will always work. Audience looks for
entertainment. If anyone thinks they are above content then they are making a
big mistake. Content is over stars, directors or everything else," she
added.
After
doing back-to-back films, Anushka has decided to take time in choosing a new
project as she now feels a bit secure about her place in the industry. "I
felt I was working round the clock and my life is in the hands of everybody and
whoever I had to give time to. I want to take time and pick films that I want
to choose. I am in talks with few people.
"I
have reached a level of security and position where I can take the time to do a
film that I want to do. I am not a newcomer who has to do films for the heck of
it. Even when I was a newcomer I was not doing it. I am ok with that. I have
gained that position," she said.
The
actor, however, has no plans to go slow when it comes to production.
"The
show that we are doing for Amazon Prime Video and for Netflix does require
time. If I am producing a film in which I am acting, I have taken out time from
my schedule to do it. Here I have to take out time.
"It
is a behind-the-scene job so one might not see it but that requires time. I am
an actor who produces films also. And that is not slowing down," she said.
Anushka, who is currently busy promoting her upcoming film Zero with
Shah Rukh and Katrina Kaif, is yet to sign any new project.
There
were also reports of her soon starting the work on her next production Kaneda
to be directed by NH 10 helmer Navdeep Singh, but Anushka said
right now her banner is only focusing on ties with Prime Video and Netflix.
