Anushka Sharma’s production house, Clean Slate Filmz, made a powerful entry into the film industry with 'NH10' (2015). The gritty thriller, known for its intense narrative and realistic portrayal of violence, resonated with audiences and critics alike. With a worldwide box office collection exceeding ₹43 crore, the film became a sleeper hit, proving that strong storytelling could triumph over modest budgets. This success set a benchmark for content-driven cinema and positioned 'Clean Slate Filmz' as a force to be reckoned with in the industry.

Diverse and Experimental Film Projects

Following NH10, Clean Slate Filmz continued its streak of unconventional storytelling with Pari (2018), a supernatural horror film that stood out for its eerie visuals and psychological depth. Unlike traditional horror films, Pari explored darker, more nuanced themes, showcasing Anushka Sharma’s willingness to experiment with genres.

Another notable production, Phillauri (2017), brought a fresh take on romance with its blend of comedy and supernatural elements. Featuring a ghostly love story set against a historical backdrop, the film’s unique narrative and engaging performances made it a memorable addition to Bollywood’s fantasy genre.

Breakthrough Success in the Digital Space

Clean Slate Filmz expanded into the digital streaming landscape with the critically acclaimed web series 'Paatal Lok' (2020) on Amazon Prime Video. This gripping crime drama, inspired by real socio-political issues, captivated audiences with its hard-hitting storytelling and stellar performances. 'Paatal Lok' became a cultural phenomenon, reinforcing Clean Slate Filmz’s reputation for bold, thought-provoking content.

Netflix’s Bulbbul (2020) further showcased the production house’s ability to deliver visually stunning narratives with deep-rooted themes. A feminist fable wrapped in folklore and gothic horror aesthetics, 'Bulbbul' won praise for its storytelling, cinematography, and strong feminist undertones. The film highlighted Anushka’s vision of pushing creative boundaries and exploring socially relevant themes.

Upcoming Projects and Future Endeavors

Continuing its streak of compelling narratives, Clean Slate Filmz is set to release 'Chakda 'Xpress', a biopic on Indian cricket legend Jhulan Goswami. The film promises to bring an inspiring sports story to the forefront, showcasing the challenges and triumphs of a female cricketer in a male-dominated sport.

A Trailblazer in Indian Cinema

Anushka Sharma’s ability to identify impactful stories and take creative risks has redefined her career trajectory. Through Clean Slate Filmz, she has carved a niche for meaningful, high-quality content that resonates with contemporary audiences. By championing unique narratives and fostering innovative storytelling, Anushka continues to inspire a new generation of content creators and reinforce her position as a trailblazing producer in Indian cinema.
