Anushka Sharma rejects any similarity between Phillauri and Corpse Bride!

Bollywood actress Anushka Sharma is all set for the release of Phillauri, her second movie as a producer. 

In the movie, we will get to see the actor playing the role of a friendly spirit named Shashi, who lives on a tree. 

Suraj Sharma, another lead of the movie gets married to a tree where Shashi lives as he is a Manglik. But Shashi calls herself his wife as she is a resident of that tree and states he married her not the tree. 

When these hilarious sequences were shown in the trailer, many felt it was inspired by a Hollywood movie titled Corpse Bride. 

Lately, Anushka was questioned about it and she blatantly rejected by stating, "There is no similarity between Phillauri and Corpse Bride because Tim Burton's movie falls in dark humour space. Secondly, the whole concept of a Manglik getting married to a tree is a very Indian concept so it can not be a copy of anything. But, I understand when something different comes out, people are like 'are different hai toh kisi ka copy toh hoga'."

Corpse Bride is an animated movie starring Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter and was released in the year 2005.


Phillauri is directed by debutant Anshai Lal and also stars Diljit Dosanjh and Mehreen Pirzada in pivotal roles. The movie is produced by Fox Star India and Clean Slate Films and it is slated to release tomorrow that is, March 24, 2017.
