Will Saif Ali Khan be the lead in Anushka’s next production?

The success of her critically acclaimed thriller NH10 has set the ball rolling for Anushka Sharma's production career.

The star, currently shooting Sultan opposite Salman Khan, has planned to release three films this year under the banner of her production company, Clean Slate Productions.

While the dramedy Phillauri, in which she is said to play a witch, has begun its shoot this month, it is said that Anushka has also begun casting for her production after that.

And if rumours are true, Saif Ali Khan will star as the lead actor in the untitled film.

The film will be directed by Delhi Belly writer, Akshat Verma, and has been in the pipeline for over two years, Times of India reports. The actor will be seen in a quirky avatar in the comedy.

"Saif's impeccable comic timing landed him the role. He was in fine form in the dark comedy, 'Being Cyrus,' and will be seen in a completely new avatar for Akshat's project too. It is a unique film, one that demands an actor of Saif's calibre," a source close to the development informed.

It's not clear at this point if Anushka will be starring in this untitled project. But we admire her for revamping the industry with good content!
