On her birthday (May 1), Bollywood sweetheart Anushka Sharma announced her new project “Pari”, co-starring prominent Kolkata-based actor Parambarata Chatterjee. The film, to be directed by debutant Prosit Roy, goes on floors this June.

“Pari” will be produced under the banners of Clean Slate Films (which is owned by Anushka Sharma and her brother Karnesh Sharma) and KriArj Entertainment.

While speaking about the film, Anushka Sharma said, “At Clean Slate Films, we focus on a good, engaging story above all else. With new talent, we get to work on newer ideas and innovative concepts. 'Pari' is a great script, and I have complete faith in Prosit's vision as well as this collaboration with KriArj Entertainment.”

“I was impressed with the script and team of 'Pari', and loved the idea of working with Anushka Sharma. This film holds great promise and I look forward to its shoot soon,” said Parambrata Chatterjee, who gained prominence in Bollywood industry after his role in “Kahaani”.

After films like “Phillauri” this year and “Ae Dil Hai Mushkil” and “Sultan” in 2016, Anushka has proved herself to be one of the leading ladies of Bollywood with an impressive box office record and tremendous acting prowess.

After sharing the screen with Punjabi superstar Diljit Dosanjh, she will be working with another regional star hailing from West Bengal.
