Popular model Anushka Ranjan, all set to make her debut with "Wedding Pullav", has decided to quit modelling to focus on her career in Bollywood.
Anushka, the daughter of film producer Shashi Ranjan, has walked the ramp for almost all the fashion brands and now she is excited about her new innings. The movie is slated to hit theatre's on October 16.
"I have to quit the modelling industry now because it is really not possible to continue modelling while you are doing films. They are two completely different backgrounds.
"Mostly all the model-turned-actresses have not gone back to modelling be it Deepika Padukone, Anushka Sharma or Priyanka Chopra. It goes like that. Modelling and films cannot go hand in hand," Anushka said.
"Wedding Pullav", directed by ace cinematographer Binod Pradhan, is a fresh take on big-fat destination marriages in our country. For Anushka, making her debut with the film was not a tough call because it has all the essential ingredients to prove her mettle.
The film boasts an ensemble cast of Diganth Manchale, Karan Grover, Sonalli Sehgall, Rishi Kapoor, Satish Kaushik, Parmeet Sethi, Kitu Gidwani, Himani Shivpuri, Upasna Singh, Tripta Lakhanpal.
