Anushka getting married after Mahaabali

 We have it on good authority that recently a debutant director met Anushka at the shooting spot of Lingaa 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 is currently working on Lingaa with Rajinikanth, Mahaabali and Rudhramadevi. Sources say that she will finish shooting her portions in Lingaa this month.
