Director Navdeep Singh, whose film NH10 stars only one commercially popular actress - Anushka Sharma - said that unfamiliar faces add to the realistic feel in a movie.
NH10 also features actors Neil Bhoopalam and Darshan Kumaar, but they are relatively less popular in filmdom as compared to the Band Baaja Baaraat actress. Neil Bhoopalam was seen in TV series 24 while Darshan made his Bollywood debut in Mary Kom. (Also Read: Anushka Sharma was the Only Choice for NH10, Says Director)
When asked why he didn't cast any A-list actor for NH10 apart from Anushka Sharma, he said: "It was not a deliberate choice, but I feel the more we keep the characters real and unfamiliar, the more the film will look real. If you have unknown characters people forget that they are actors and you get the reality impact. Unfamiliar and unknown faces make the film look real."

The movie is a thriller, co-produced by Phantom Films and Eros International. This is Anushka Sharma's debut production venture and it also stars Neil Bhoopalam.
