Anupria also recalls her co-star got ‘excited’ amidst intimate scenes aother actor almost put hands on her ‘ butt’.
She also added, that one-month process was beautiful. Thankfully for her the entire process was in one machine. Had it taken one year then anxiety crops. They give you some other script and they make you audition on that… It was only when she met Ali and he kept referring to ‘Mr Khan’, then I realised this was for Sultan and the main part.
“The entire process was very heartbreaking when she didn’t get it, of course. One thing is that she is dusky, which is very proud of as she loves being dusky. But she isn’t a typical YRF heroine, right? She doesn’t have the most shapely legs…,” the actress mentioned.
Sultan proved to be a blockbuster at the box office, and Anushka Sharma’s role as a wrestler was appreciated by the audience.
