Anushka, who recently worked with Phantom for her forthcoming project 'Bombay Velvet', is looking forward to work with the production house again.
"This is my second film after 'Bombay Velvet' with Phantom, and it's a blast working with them. It's going to be super-exciting working together again on what promises to be an explosive film," said Anushka, who will also be seen with Aamir Khan in Rajkumar Hirani's 'Peekay'.
The 25-year-old follows in the footsteps of actor Ranbir Kapoor who will be co-producing 'Bombay Velvet'.
Being shot this winter across the northern plains around Delhi, 'NH 10' will release on September 12 next year.
