Anushka on Miss Shetty and Marriage. Anushka after a long hiatus is coming to entertain movie lovers with the film Miss Shetty Mr Polishetty sharing screen presence with young hero Naveen Polishetty under the direction of P. Mahesh Babu. The film is releasing on 7 September. Ahead of the film release Anushka interacted with the scribes and shared the secrets of the film and also her thoughts on marriage.
About her role in the film, Anvita, a chef and a feminist, Anushka said "When director P. Mahesh casually bounced the idea off me a couple of years ago, I liked the novelty and also the character design. I asked him, ‘Who are you planning to cast? He replied, ‘No one yet.’ I expressed willingness to do the role. I like the director’s vision and the emotional journey of my character. The film is a light-hearted yet emotional ride. It’s a unique story of a progressive woman."
Anushka elaborated and defined progressive women saying "No! I intended to say that everyone has a perspective that makes them unique. That perspective is defined by their upbringing, and experiences. And in the process, we subconsciously tend to take from the world only what we understand. Everyone reaches a point where we are vulnerable and that’s when our grace comes out, and that’s how my character Anvitha is written. I play a Master Chef from London, and her idea of having a child has an emotional story — you will understand when you see the film. The black and white shades in each of us define our perspectives."
About her challenging roles, Anushka shared "Getting a good script is the most challenging and difficult thing! I am blessed to have played several ionic roles like Rudhramadevi, Devasena (Baahubali), Jejemma (Arundhati), Bhaagamathie, etc. I keep listening to scripts and sometimes they are repetitive. But when I come across a script that’s out-of-box and resonates with me, I take my chance and give it my best shot. It is important to take chances in life."
On her weight loss issues Anushka revealed "Nothing can motivate you better to come back into shape than a beautiful script. A great character in a story (like Miss Shetty Mr Polishetty) can be a huge source of inspiration. As actors we gain and shed weight for characters, and sometimes the process can be very challenging"
Finally on her marriage Anushka added "I have nothing against marriage! I would love to have a partner and start a family. It’s something I believe in. But it has to happen organically, and not for the heck for it."
