Well now the news birdies are out chirping a fresh word about the leading lady's character in the flick. Sources have revealed that Anushka would be essaying a role of a jazz singer of the 60's. She has already started her lessons to learn the know-how's of the character from her tutor who herself is a popular Ind-Australian Jazz singer, which would probably help her get under the skin of her character.

The flick directed by Anurag Kashyap will also project the ace director/producer Karan Johar acting for the very first time.
