Bollywood actres Anushka Sharma will be awarded the Dadasaheb Phalke Excellence Award 2018 for being a path-breaking producer. The 29-year-old actress has been appreciated for breaking new grounds as a film producer, along with her brother Karnesh Sharma. Their company Clean Slate Films focus on experimenting with new subjects and ideas.
At the age of 25, when she was at the peak of her career as a superstar, she became the youngest producer ever with a commitment to quality and desire to make entertaining cinema that pushed the content envelope. Given that their three home productions of Clean Slate Films have won applause from critics and movie buffs as well as become success stories, the Dadasaheb Phalke Foundation has decided to honour her contribution.Anushka along with her brother Karnesh have also empowered young talent by giving them big-ticket breaks in the industry as directors, musicians, composers, technicians, etc by backing and believing raw talent.
Their first three productions: NH 10, Phillauri and Pari showed their maturity in dabbling with three different genres - thriller, romance and horror with a distinct and differential content pitch for audiences.
Meanwhile, Anushka is currently busy shooting for Yash Raj Films' Sui Dhaaga, co-starring Varun Dhawan and Aanand L.Rai's Zero along with Katrina Kaif and Shah Rukh Khan.
