Anushka Sharma, Akshay Kumar in New Movie "Patiala House"

Anushka Sharma is on a roll with a third film in her kitty, paired yet again with an A-list actor - Akshay Kumar.

The film, Nikhil Advani’s Patiala House is her first outside the Yash Raj Films (YRF) banner.

The 21-year-old, who debuted in 2008 with YRF’s Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi opposite Shah Rukh Khan, has a three film contract with YRF that allows her to concurrently work outside the banner.

Anushka is currently filming for Parmeet Sethi’s Next under the YRF banner, with co-stars Shahid Kapur, Purab Kohli and Vir Das.

“Yes, I am doing Patiala House and I am extremely happy with the script. I’ll finish Parmeet Sethi’s film in December and will start shooting for Nikhil’s film by mid-December,” Anushka confirmed to Mumbai Mirror.

As for her contract with YRF, she said, “I have a three film deal with YRF, but my contract does not forbid me from pursuing outside films. I don’t understand why there has been a misunderstanding about that. Adi (Aditya Chopra) has been extremely nice to me and he has never stopped me from working outside. When I was backed by a capable production house like YRF, I knew I was in safe hands.”

Nikhil Advani’s Chandni Chowk to China failure at the box-office is no deterrant for the young actress:

“It would be foolish to judge someone on the failure of his previous film.” .
