Actress Anushka Sharma is currently enjoying the success of two of her production, Pataallok and Bulbbul. She is known to explore the supernatural genre. Bulbbul marks the third film in the same genre, apart from Phillauri and Pari. Anushka and her brother Karnesh Ssharma have been exploring a different style of filmmaking through their production house, Clean Slate Films.
According to Spotboye, when Anushka was asked about her interest in supernatural genre, she said “One should see a movie for the story that it is and for what is trying to say and try to engage a little more deeply with stories. We have never tried to create a movie specific to a genre. We have never ever discussed things like – let’s do a horror film right now. We have always seen stories.”
Anushka further added, “For us, Pari was not a horror film. It was a film about how a human being can be so demonic and a demon can still be more humane. For us, that was the beauty of Pari as a film. For us, Bulbbul is a story about a girl finding her strength in an unfamiliar world. For us, Phillauri was about love and longing. It was never about genres or we never thought about the supernatural element of it. Because of the characters, we had to lend that treatment to it.”
Anushka Sharma became a producer at the age of 25, which makes her the youngest producer of the country. She plans to find the best stories for her production house and also be a part of best projects as an actress. “For us its always the stories and it will always remain about the stories. We want to produce the best projects and find the best stories. Hopefully, after a point maybe when people see the kind of work Karnesh and me are doing, people will stop maybe asking us questions on whether we love a particular genre or not and see us for what we are trying to do,” she says.
