When I decided to turn producer, I didn't ask Aditya Chopra for permission, says Anushka Sharma!

Gorgeous Anushka Sharma is presently gearing up for her film Phillauri which is her second venture as a producer under Clean Slate Films with her brother Karnesh Sharma. The actress debuted nine years back in Yash Raj Film's Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi with Shah Rukh Khan and recently starred in YRF's movie Sultan opposite Salman Khan. 

Anushka told to a famous daily that there is no clash of interest between herself and YRF. She disclosed, "Yash Raj has a talent management wing, which is independent of their production house. They manage my work, but that doesn't make me an in-house talent. I have been associated with Adi (Aditya Chopra, YRF's boss) for many years, but when I decided to turn producer, I didn't pick up the phone and ask him for permission. It was only when I met him (that I told him about starting my own production house). He said it was a superb idea" 

She also further added that she is not obliged to sign every YRF movie just because she was their 'discovery'. "Adi offers me a lot of movies and I agree to do one only if I like it," the actress told and added, "It is obvious that we have brought in good things from them into our company."

Directed by Anshai Lal, Phillauri is slated to release on March 24, 2017. Produced by Fox Star Studios and Clean Slate Films, the movie also stars Diljjit Dosanjh, Suraj Sharma and Mehreen Pirzada. 

In the meantime, Anushka will also be seen in Imtiaz Ali's next and will be reuniting with Shah Rukh Khan for the third time.
