Anushka's first brush with Sanjay Dutt dates back to 2003 film Munna Bhai MBBS
New Delhi:
Actress Anushka Sharma was directed by Rajkumar Hirani in last year's blockbuster PK, which featured Sanjay Dutt in a small role, but it appears that her very first brush with both co-star and director dates back to 2003 film Munna Bhai MBBS.
A still from the movie has been excavated and has been doing the rounds of social media. It shows Sanjay Dutt, who starred as the titular Munna Bhai, striding past a hoarding across which Anushka's face is plastered. In 2003, Anushka was still modelling and her Bollywood debut was five years away. .
The tweet above, from a fan club, was retweeted by Anushka who added two grinning emoticons:
In 2008, Anushka made a splashy debut in Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi opposite Shah Rukh Khan. In PK, she appeared opposite SRK's fellow Khan Aamir who played a displaced alien struggling with notions of religion. Anushka's performance as a journalist named Jagat Janini was singled out for praise by critics.
PK broke box office records when it released last year. Last month, a dubbed version was released in China where it made history by making over Rs 100 crores in a single country abroad. The Munna Bhai films, of which there are two with a third one planned for when incarcerated actor Sanjay Dutt leaves jail, were also wildly popular.
