It was fun to play non-living character in Phillauri : Anushka

Mumbai March 8 (IANS) Bollywood actor-producer Anushka Sharma who is playing a ghost bride in her second production Phillauri says it was fun to play a non-living character.

It was fun to play a non-living character because normally we play characters which are in the flesh and its boring to portray a living character in each film. You should keep doing a different thing. I think I ve represented the ghost community well she said in an interview on Tuesday.

The Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi actress ventured into production with 2015 thriller NH-10 and is now gearing up for her banner s (Clean Slate Films) next project Phillauri.

When asked about what she enjoys the most the 28-year-old actress said I enjoy both. I have realised that when I have too many responsibilities on me I perform better. Acting and producing both are very different things. Like when I am on set I just do my job and when I am producing a film I have to collaborate with ALL right from the inception of a film. Both are going well for me.

Anushka who seems to be quite happy with the encouraging response from the industry said I feel very happy when the audience and industry people say good things about Phillauri .

The story revolves around a young man who has come to Punjab to get married but a local priest says he will have to get married to a tree first in order to combat the bad setting of his stars.

The tree happens to be the home of Shashi s (Anushka Sharma s character) spirit. Incidentally he gets married with the spirit. The spirit also has a flashback which showcases a love story between Shashi and her fiance.

Directed by Anshai Lal the film also features Diljit Dosanjh and is releasing on March 24.
