Anushka Sharma, Huma Qureshi to star opposite Abhishek Bachchan in Meerut Junction

Though Zila Ghaziabad didn’t do well at the box-office, director Anand Kumar is not one bit fazed. On the contrary he is gung ho about his new project Meerut Junction. Earlier we had reported that the director has approached Abhishek Bachchan to play the male protagonist in the film. And the latest is that Anand is also thinking of roping in Anushka Sharma and Huma Qureshi as the leading ladies. Confirmed Anand saying, “Yes, I am reaching out to them. They are best suited for my film.” But why Anushka and Huma? “Anushka has proven that she can play a small town girl really well. Right from Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi to Band Baaja Baaraat and the latest Matru Ki Bijlee Ka Mandola, she has delivered convincing performances.” Of Huma, the director quips, “Though I haven’t seen any of her pics, reports say that Huma has been appreciated in films like Gangs of Wasseypur and Luv Shuv Tey Chicken Khurana.”
