Anushka was very excited when she heard the name because it is something quite different and atypical. She has never played a character with such an extraordinary name.
When the actress told her parents her character's name they loved it. They found it a very interesting and fascinating name.
In fact, they even started calling her Jagat Janani in order to tease her and pull her leg.
Rajkumar Hirani's characters usually have unusual names and he has a thing for such bizarre and different names.
Jagat Janani in PK is an addition to the list of unusual names, after Circuit, Ranchordas Shyamaldas Chanhad and Rancho.
Jagat Jannai too will probably become as memorable and loved as Rajkumar Hirani's other endearing characters.
PK starring Aamir Khan, Anushka Sharma, Sanjay Dutt and Sushant Singh Rajput releases on 19th December.
