In the words of Deepika Kaliraman, national wrestling champion, “Anushka’s work is awesome and fabulous, every move, every technique she does is like a professional….A lot of eminent actresses have played sportspersons but Anuhska has done a spectacular job. Each technique and each move is so sharp and accurate that you can’t guess if it’s an actress or a professional wrestler… Dialogues are still a part of the story but her movements as a wrestler- be it the Dhobi pachad move or Bharandaach- all her moves were so accurate! She looked a wrestler, didn’t feel fake."
