Anushka plays Rani of Jhansi in Sye Raa...

Sources say that Anushka was the obvious choice for the role as she has been a part of period films before and has carried her roles well. The film opens with Anushka narrating the story, and she takes the audience through to the rest of the film. With only patchwork left to be shot, the theatrical rights for Karnataka state have been sold at a whopping Rs 30 crore.
