• While many would have assumed by now that Anushka must be playing the titular character 'Pari' in her next, here's the catch. As per reports, the 29-year-old actress will be seen playing the role of a girl named Rukhsana in the movie. 
   
• As per another report, Anushka is speculated to play a double role in the movie. 
   
• During the shooting of the film in August 2017 in West Bengal, a technician, named Shah Alam died of electrocution. The shooting of the film at the shooting site was immediately stopped following the incident. 
   
• Earlier, the film was supposed to hit screens on February 9. However, to avoid a clash with several other big releases, the movie was rescheduled to arrive in theatres on March 2.
   
• 'Pari' is a joint production by Anushka and her brother’s Clean Slate Films & KriArj Entertainment. The movie has reportedly been shot in Kolkata and Mumbai.
