Will Anushka Sharma Help Salman Khan Beat The Other Khans?
Updated : July 05, 2016 03:22 PM IST
Sultan's release is heavily on everybody's mind and it's high time that we divert our attention towards the film's leading lady.
Now 'lady' is only a figurative term as the NH10 actress has looked rather rugged and strong in the previews, redefining the image of actresses in Bollywood films. We believe her role as Aarfa, a budding wrestler, would certainly be one of the highlights of the film and might even take the limelight away from Salman Khan.
Interestingly, with Sultan, Anushka Sharma will join the exclusive list of actors who has worked with the three major Khans.
After making her debut in Rab Ne Bana De Jodi opposite Shah Rukh Khan, the actress co-starred with SRK again in another Yash Raj Production Jab Tak Hai Jaan. In 2014, she was in Rajkumari Hirani's massively successful PK with Aamir Khan.
Let's analyse how exactly these films fared. Also, will Sultan be able to be to beat them?
WITH SHAH RUKH KHAN
Rab Ne Bana De Jodi (2008)
This Aditya Chopra-directed movie won many hearts upon its release. Anushka Sharma, who made her debut with the film, won a lot of acclaim for her role and propelled her to immediate stardom. The film was a blockbuster success, though it couldn't topple Aamir Khan's Ghajini at the box-office.
Box office: ₹82 crore
Jab Tak Hain Jaan (2012)
In what became Yash Chopra's final film, Jab Tak Hai Jaan had Shah Rukh Khan and Katrina Kaif in the lead and Anushka Sharma in key supporting role. While the film received mixed critical reviews, it was a success commercially.
Box office: ₹121 crore
WITH AAMIR KHAN
PK (2014)
Rajkumar Hirani reunited with Aamir Khan after 3 Idiots for PK. Not only the film received wide critical acclaim, it broke several box-office records. The most impressive being the highest grossing Indian film of all time.
Box office: ₹337 crore
WITH SALMAN KHAN
Sultan (2016)
The highly anticipated movie releases this Eid and according to reports it will set the box office on fire. It is safe to assume that the film will beat Shah Rukh Khan's Rab Ne Bana De Jodi and Jab Tak Hain Jaan, it remains to be seen whether Sultan beats PK at the box-office. If it does, it will become India's highest grossing movie ever.
Will Anushka Sharma be Salman Khan's lucky charm?
