Anisshka Khosla, who came to Mumbai on a vacation, was in for a surprise when she was offered the role of the leading lady opposite Suniel Shetty and Arshad Warsi in Deepak Shivdasani’s Mr White Mr Black.

The actress was chosen for an action-packed thriller but eventually the director chose to cast her in this comedy venture instead. Anisshka says that the first day of her shoot was a memorable one. "We had to shoot a scene where I was supposed to be drunk. Suniel, being the prankster he is, kept slipping actual wine into my glass. Little did I realise that my director was also in on it and it was their plan. By the time the scene was canned I was quite tipsy. But the scene turned out so well that I actually got a huge round of applause!

I should thank Suniel and my director for making me drink all the wine. When I saw the rushes of the scene I was floored. I never believed that my first take would have been so good," says the debutante.

A combination of intelligence, talent and looks, this Punjabi girl’s venture into the industry is something to wait for. The actress further adds, "It was great working with Suniel and Arshad who are fabulous actors and wonderful human beings. Not to mention my director, who is surely one of the finest of our time. I consider myself truly lucky to have worked with such established people in my first film.
