And now the hunt for the leading lady is over, ramp model Anushka Sharma, 21, standing tall with a height of 5.9” from Bangalore will make her silver screen debut opposite Shah Rukh Khan in Yashraj movie Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi. She has also promoted hair products in television commercials, and not to forget the Fiat Palio Stile ‘Meri Sapno Ki Rani’ ad. Making an announcement in Mumbai today, Yash Chopra, Chairman of Yashraj Films said the 19-year-old has been recognized to play the female lead.
“Hopefully, the announcement will end all the speculation and conjecture that had started about the identity of the female lead ever since the film was announced,” he alleged.
With Rab Ne.., Aditya Chopra takes the directorial baton after eight years. Anushka has no acting experience except ramp modelling in Bangalore, Chopra said.
Earlier, it was reported that Sonam Kapoor, daughter of Bollywood actor Anil Kapoor would be cast opposite SRK. Yash Chopra said, “We were looking first and foremost for someone who could truly embody the spirit of small town Punjab and we know we have found her in Anushka. And while she has no previous acting experience, we have seen that unique spark in her that makes us confident that she will be a standout even opposite Shah Rukh.”
Rab ne Bana di Jodi will go on the floors on May 16 and will hit theatres worldwide in December 2008.
PS: Whenever King Khan acts opposite a tall leading lady, the film is a super duper hit. Preceding examples are Mein Hoo Na (Sushmita Sen), OSO(Deepika) and now Anushka. So all the best King Khan agin!

According to grapevine, King Khan will be seen with Deepika Padukone and Sonam Kapoor in the forthcoming movie Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi by Yash Raj Films directed by Aditya Chopra. Deepika’s love interest will be SRK, but SRK’s heart has been stolen by a village belly Sonam. SRK will enact the role of an NRI who returns to his country wherein he find the village girl. Since both girls are not in best of their terms {following the Ranbir Kapoor breakups), the off-screen sparks will be more interesting to watch than the onscreen ones.

In Aditya Chopra’s return film, three new girls have been short-listed to play Shah Rukh Khan ’s love heroine. Aditya Chopra is returning to direction eight years after he directed Mohabbatein with a big-budget Yashraj Films project titled Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi .
The earlier gossip that Sonam Kapoor has been finalized to play the female lead opposite Shah Rukh has twisted out to be erroneous.
Aditya has auditioned many girls and has finalised on three newcomers. One girl is named Simran and she is from Punjab. Another is a Mumbai girl. The third girl’s name is anonymous.
The three girls are at present in Mumbai, doing screen tests for the film.
Aditya has not been able to take a ultimate name on who will ultimately be SRK’s foremost lady in the film. So, he asked SRK to select one.
Since SRK feels he is not at ease in selecting his leading actress out of the three girls, he has gave the responsibility to Aditya.
Aditya plans to begin shooting ‘Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi’ from May. The film plans to be released in December,2008.

With, Deepika Padukone Ranbir Kapoor, Sonam Kapoor and Neil Nitin Mukesh, Bollywood gave us four youthful dazzling stars in 2007 who are accepted to become a power to surmise with.. The tendency is prone to continue in 2008 with at least three major star kids’ debut films are getting all set for release.
Sikander Kher
He is the son of artistic actor Anupam Kher and actress Kirron Kher. His parents have recognized themselves with their amateur dramatics skills, winning national and international acclaim.
His debut film is Woodstock Villa, a thriller that falls in the film noir genre. The film is directed by Hanslal Mehta and Neha Uberoi, who
made her debut in Dus Kahaniyan, is paired opposite him.
Success rate
His avant-garde looks in an activist debut film may not hit a harmony with audiences.
*He will be a flop star.
Mimoh Chakraborty
He is the son of admired actor of ’80s, Mithun Chakraborty, who still has fan followers. His mother Yogita Bali was also a well-known actress and beautiful too. Mithun’s dancing skills in the film Disco Dancer made him an at once commotion.
Jimmy is the debut film he will be seen which is an action detective movie with ample fundamentals of song and dance sequences to platform Mimoh’s dexterous feet. The film is directed by veteran director Raj Sippy and co-stars Pooja Singh opposite Mimoh.
Success rate
He made his debut in a B-grade flip which has been in the cans for a year, directed by a disregarded director. To add to this, he’s a little flabby, which isn’t taken benevolently by audiences when six-pack abs have become the standard for Bollywood heroes.
*He will not survive much in the industry.
Harman Baweja
He is the son of successful producer-director Harry Baweja, who has produced a sequence of hits with Diwale, Diljale and
Qayamat.. Harman is expected to be launched conventionally in an out-and-out masala film.
Love Story 2050 is the debute film in which Harman will be launched is a science-fiction flip with a weighty dose of special effects. The big-budget film is directed by Harry
himself and co-stars Priyanka Chopra, who happens to be Harman’s real-life girlfriend.
Success rate
His eerie semblance to Hrithik Roshan will illustrate redundant comparisons. Since his debut film’s subject is not a regular Bollywood story, it may miscarry if it’s not healthy prepared.
*This debut film may deposit him in the confederation of Ranbir Kapoor and Neil Nitin Mukesh.
