Rani Mukherjee: New Bollywood Stunt Queen?

March 13, 2008 By: ZendaZelia Category: Gossips, News No Comments →

After the last of her ” Prostitute Trilogy” as Rani affectionately calls her role in Sawariya her forthcoming film is a fantasy family drama directed by Kunal Kohli. It requires her to do dangerous sequences flying in the air as an angel.

The film reportedly inspired by the classic drama Mary Poppins (1964) requires Rani’s character to play a nanny with magical powers who looks after the kids of Saif Ali Khan’s character, a business executive.

 

In it, Mary Poppins ,played by Julie Andrews, is a super-nanny who looks after the kids of a cold banker. She flies in with her umbrella whenever the children are in distress and proceeds to set things right for them using her extraordinary magical powers, before flying off again.

 

It was the flying around that she had to do as an angel that forced Rani to grapple with wires, harnesses and pulleys, equipment you would expect Hrithik Roshan and Akshay Kumar to be more comfortable with.

 

“Rani underwent many rehearsals and trials for the stunt scenes. We shot on many outdoor locations in Mumbai, at Film City and inside the Yash Raj studios. At every place, we took utmost precaution. It could have been very dangerous if Rani had slipped. Thankfully, she pulled it off without retakes,” said Kohli .

 

Another challenge for Rani was that she had to wear the same delicate angel ensemble, designed by Manish Malhotra, throughout the film.

 

Amisha Patel, also in the film, faced her own challenges. She had to learn Scuba diving for underwater sequences between her and Saif, presumably the masala part of the film.

Prostitute turns Angel!

February 25, 2008 By: ZendaZelia Category: Gossips No Comments →

Rani Mukherjee is all set to do a moral about-turn.

After playing three different kinds of prostitutes in The Rising, Laga Chunari… and Saawariya Rani Mukherjee is set for a U-turn.

In her new under-production Yashraj film directed by Kunal Kohli Rani plays an angel who descends down to look after business-executive Saif Ali Khan’s children

Rani is all smiles about this role reversal. “You can call it my prostitute trilogy. I hope people will remember my three different portrayals of the Fallen Woman with affection.” Says Rani with her trademark smile.

Some of her critics have sniggered at Rani’s back-to-back roles as a prostitute in Laga Chunari Mein Daag and Saawariya.

Rani ,however, is unfazed. “What’s the big deal? An actor’s job is to play a variety of challenging roles. And I don’t think anyone has the right to question any actor for his choice of parts.”

How does it feel to be playing an angel?

“I can’t be happy doing just good-women or bad-women roles. Luckily for me I got to experiment”, says the actress who has always taken grave risks with her career.

“Right now I’m not allowed to talk about Kunal’s film. But yes, any opportunity to surprise yourself and the audience is welcome,” says Rani.

For now Rani is happy playing the angel in Kohli’s film. She’s currently shooting for the film with Saif Ali Khan in Bangkok.

Hit pair Saif Ali Khan and Rani Mukerjee will set the screen on fire once again in a Kunal Kohli-directed film. However, despite the film having started production a month ago, chhote nawab Saif has just started to make his presence felt on the sets.

Wondering why?

“This yet-to-be-titled flick brings the Hum Tum team Saif, Rani and Kunal together. But Saif was not involved in a single shot in the initial days ‘coz of his changed appearance for another Yash Raj film he was shooting for viz Tashan.

In Tashan, he wears an unusual hairstyle with long sideburns and a double barrel moustache. He can’t alter this look for the Kunal Kohli film and get back to his Tashan look in a matter of days. So the makers had planned both the films in such a way that the schedules don’t clash and disturb continuity,” an insider revealed.

Now that Tashan is over, Chote Nawab is busy catching up on the shooting schedule for the new movie.

 

So now Rani’s Career and Personal Life are both on a High!!!

 

Way to go Rani….way to go!

Rani Mukherjee -Aditya Chopra Marriage on the Rocks!!!

February 25, 2008 By: ZendaZelia Category: Gossips No Comments →

It is one of the most awaited weddings of Bollywood …..But even before the marriage vows have been exchanged the duo have run into troubled waters!!! If our sources are to be believed then, Rani and Adi marriage plans are in big trouble thanks to our renowned astrologer Bejan Daruwalla! Daruwalla who has great experience on his side, has predicted that Rani and Adi match is not auspicious.

He says that as Rani and Adi are both born on the same star date 21st they share the same wave length, but accordingly to Mr. Daruwalla the relationship will only flourish if they remain friends. The astrologer also warns that if Rani and Adi ever plan to marry then, they will suffer huge losses.

Adi’s parents Yash and Pam have heard Bejan’s prediction and hence, they have not been cheering the Rani-Adi jodi.

Rani began her career with a movie titled ‘Raja Ki Aayegi Baraat’ and she sure hopes that at this stage ‘Dilwale’ Adi takes the ‘Dulhaniya’ Rani away.
