Yash Chopra has announced that 19-year-old model Anushka Sharma from Bangalore will play Shah Rukh Khan's leading lady in 'Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi'.

Anushka has a modelling background and was the show-stopper for designer Wendell Rodricks’ Spring Summer ’07 collection. She has also done ad campaigns for Whisper, Silk n’ Shine, and Fiat Palio.

Aditya was looking for a girl with Punjabi features for RNBDJ. He had reportedly zeroed down on three girls but was not able to make up his mind. He had even asked SRK to pick one of the three girls as his heroine, but the superstar had refused to do so, claiming he was “uncomfortable” in pick and choose.

Said Yash Chopra, "We were looking first and foremost for someone who could truly embody the spirit of small-town Punjab and we know we have found her in Anushka. And while she has no previous acting experience, we have seen that unique spark in her that makes us confident that she will be a standout even opposite Shah Rukh."

Chopra said that 'Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi' will go on the floors May 16 and will hit theatres worldwide on Dec 12.

‘Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi’ marks the return of Aditya Chopra to direction after eight years. So far Aditya has directed two films - he debuted as a director with super hit 'Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge' and his second film was 'Mohabbatein'.
