MUMBAI — Anushka Sharma was the first and last choice for "NH10," said debutant filmmaker Navdeep Singh. Singh said he has never seen a dedicated actress like Sharma. "She is extremely talented and was perfect for this film. She has given her 100 percent and I hope the audience appreciates her hard-work. Anushka was the first and last choice for this film." The film, which will hit the theaters on March 13, features Neil Bhoopalam opposite Sharma. "NH10" also marks Sharma's first stint as a film producer. Meanwhile, Singh is not satisfied with the film receiving an "A" certificate. "It is a real film and has intense drama. The film got an 'A' certificate, and I felt bad about it. I wanted maximum people to watch this film because the subject of the film is very strong," he said. — SG
