Marriage
Anushka getting married after Mahaabali
Janani Karthik,TNN | Sep 17, 2014
The Times of India has it on good authority that in 2014 a debutant director met Anushka at the shooting spot of Lingaa (2014) and narrated to her a script. The script was a heroine-centric one, and Anushka loved it. And yet, she did not accept the offer. The reason she gave the director was not the usual one actors dish out of not having dates. In this case, the actress reportedly refused the offer as she's getting married after the shoot of Mahaabali and has no plans to work on any film after marriage.
A source in the know says, "It was only because of her marriage plans that she politely declined to work in this film, though she liked the director's script very much. Anushka will be settling down after her shoot for Rajamouli's film is over."
Anushka's husband-to-be, apparently, is not from the film industry, but a businessman. The actress was in 2014 working on Lingaa (2014) with Rajinikanth, Mahaabali and Rudhramadevi.

Her regal look as a queen has been greatly appreciated and has gone viral.
Playing a sword-wielding warrior came at a price. The actress 'suffered a hairline fracture while filming for the climax episode' of the period drama and shot for around 10 days through intense pain, while refusing a body double.
The actress shot with five rolls of skin-coloured bandage on her wrist and took pain-killer injections to complete the shoot on time. Her commitment has left the whole film unit in awe. The Times of India
