Anushka Sharma is riding a crest of appreciation from film critics and adulation from movie buffs with Sultan. But that’s just part of her stupendous success story. Be it leading men or women amongst current actors, Anushka is the only actor of her generation to have two of the topmost grossers in the history of Hindi cinema.
In just two weeks’ time, Sultan has grossed 280 crores, with audiences still queuing up across India to watch the film, once or repeatedly. What’s more, in both films, Anushka’s role is both significant and applauded.
PK! which made over 600 crores across the world featured her as the feisty Jagat Janani, a role model for young girls.
In the film, her character is pivotal to finding the story’s resolution and stands by values of independent thinking and life choices.
