Highlights
- Pari is Anushka Sharma's third film as producer after NH10 and Phillauri
- Pari will hit the screens on February 9 next year
- Anushka Sharma's next is Jab Harry Mt Sejal with SRK
Actress-turned-producer Anushka Sharma announced the release date of her film
Pari with a new haunting poster - not cool Anushka, it's only Monday. Anushka's
Pari will hit the screens on February 9, next year. The 29-year-old actress looks slightly scary. The ligature marks around her ankle suggest that her character may have been held captive for some time (is this a thriller?) but the earphones betray her captive status.
Pari looked intriguing from the day Anushka Sharma shared the film's first poster,
which was a close up of her freckled face - again, as haunting as this new poster. Take a look:
And here's
the first look of Pari:
Pari is Anushka's third film as producer (Clean Slate Films) after 2015's critically acclaimed
NH10 and this year's
Phillauri, which wasn't as successful as
NH10. Of the sort of films she wants to produce, Anushka told news agency IANS: "At Clean Slate, our endeavour is to tell stories that are not only meaningful and different, but also push the boundaries."
Anushka Sharma's next film,
Jab Harry Met Sejal, releases on August 4. The film also stars Shah Rukh Khan and is directed by Imtiaz Ali. In fact, Anushka joined
Jab Harry Met Sejal's promotional exercise a little
late as she was busy working on Pari. Anushka has also signed up for Aanand L Rai's next, which again features Shah Rukh and actress Katina Kaif. In the film, SRK plays the role of a dwarf.
Apart from this, Anushka also has a small role in Rajkumar Hirani's Sanjay Dutt biopic, starring Ranbir Kapoor - her
Ae Dil Hai Mushkil and
Bombay Velvet co-star.
