Every newcomer sings in their debutant award winning speech that they didn't have a godfather to be successful (lifting the phrase from Shah Rukh Khan's initial acceptance speeches after receiving awards). But there is one girl who never ally to this line, the Rab Ne...girl Anushka Sharma. Why you ask? The girl's under the patronage of the country's biggest media house Yash Raj Films. Apparently, Aditya Chopra is very keen on giving Anushka's career the right kick and so keeps a tab on everything she signs and that includes Patiala House too! Great going girl!
Reliable trade sources say that Adi still takes an active interest in his protégée's career.
Both Tarika Singh, who looks after Anushka's media relations and endorsement work, and John, who looks after her film interests, have been appointed by Yash Raj. Both these managers are reportedly expected to get the approval of Yash Raj (preferably Adi's) before they say yes to any film. Grapevine now has it that after her second assignment for Yash Raj, directed by Parmeet Sethi, the Rab Ne... girl will be contractually left with one more film for the banner that introduced her to Bollywood. However, she is free to sign any outside film, like in the case of Patiala House, but Yash Raj must approve the project. YRF as sugar daddy? That's a deal worth every penny Anushka!
Anushka has clearly maintained that she is eternally grateful to Adi for launching her in Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi. While she has categorically stated that she is too professional to give away the script of an outside banner to Adi before she approves of it, Anushka is happy that her godfather continues to take an active interest in her career. She has said that she knows if she ever wants any career advice, Adi sir will always be there for her. Impressive! We wonder what made Aditya Chopra take so much interest in Anushka's career? Whatever may be the reason behind this concern (??), we bet Anushka's more than just happy!
