Rani Mukerji born on 21 March 1978, is an Indian film actress who works in Hindi movies. Mukerji changed the English transliteration of her surname from Mukherjee to Mukerji several years ago. At the time, it was reported that she did this for numerological reasons. In 2006, Mukerji stated that numerology was not a concern; her name had been put down as Mukerji on her passport, and she wanted to be consistent. Mukerji has three homes in Mumbai, including her childhood home. She bought a bungalow in Juhu for herself and her parents in mid-2005. The house went through a two year renovation with the interiors done by Twinkle Khanna and Sussanne Roshan.

Dil Bole Hadippa’s release clashed with Salman Khan’s Wanted

Dil Bole Hadippa’s release clashed with Salman Khan’s Wanted which has ended up becoming the breakout success of the year and is set to break all box office records.

A source tells us, ’After the debacle of Laaga Chunari Mein Daag and Thoda Pyaar Thoda Magic Rani had her hopes pinned high on Dil Bole Hadippa and worked her butt to get a toned figure for the movie. She played a Punjabi kudi, a male cricketer and a bikini-clad glam doll. To top it, she went all over, all dolled-up to promote the movie but her efforts didn’t pay off. It is also a mystery as to why a film like that was chosen to premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival because after all, it is a remake of Disney movie She’s The Man, starring Amanda Bynes which was not worth remaking in the first place.’

The source goes on to add, ’Also, the movie is like a heroine-centric version of Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi as here the heroine has a double role and her co-star doesn’t recognize her. The movie faced problems from day one as the director Anurag Singh wasn’t competent enough and Adi and Rani wanted several portions to be re-shot. Rani even contributed off the camera.’

Another thing that hasn’t worked in Rani’s favour is her exclusive association with YRF and her arrogance. Our source says, ’Rani is hardly PR and media savvy and in today’s times that is of utmost importance. Look at actresses like Priyanka Chopra and Katrina Kaif who attend several events in a month, pose on magazine covers and stay in the limelight. Rani was out of the limelight for over a year and suddenly surfaced to promote her movie. She was obviously very nice to everyone as she is desperate for a hit. There was a time when she had one release lined up after another and everybody wanted to work with her but her snooty attitude and temper has driven people away. The actress may have very powerful friends who she has worked with in the past but now they aren’t keen to be associated with her professionally though their friendship may be intact.’

Rani hardly paid attention to the directors of LCMD and TPTM and acted very high-handed because she is apparently the maalkin or madam of YRF, given her alleged association with Aditya Chopra. Her success and acting prowess has gone to her head. She has become infamous for her foul temper. Earlier Rani took pride in being a YRF heroine and it made sense then with successes like Veer Zaara, Saathiya, Hum Tum and Bunty aur Babli in her kitty. After that, Ta Ra Rum Pum, LCMD, TPTM and now Dil Bole Hadippa have flopped. She should have signed other films after TRRP, LCMD and TPTM failed but she didn’t as she thought Dil Bole would be the film of her career. Sadly, her hopes have been dashed. On the bright side, Rani’s performance has been appreciated as always and her chemistry with Shahid is sparkling. Both of them have delivered very sincere performances but that hasn’t been enough to salvage the no-brainer.’

Rani’s latest release has been a disappointment and she doesn’t have any other films on hand. Will the Queen reign again? We think it is best of she admits to her relationship with Adi and has a grand wedding before audiences and the media lose interest in her. If the wedding isn’t an option then she should do her best to make amends and work with directors outside of the YRF camp

Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF)

Dil Bole Hadippa, which stars Shahid Kapur and Rani Mukerji, became the first Bollywood film to premiere at the ongoing Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) before its release in India. And debutant director Anurag Singh just can’t contain his excitement.

"I am over the moon at this privilege given to Dil Bole Hadippa to be the first-ever Bollywood film to be premiered at the Toronto festival before its release in India," Anurag, son of producer K P Singh, said.

"It is a family entertainment masala which will appeal to anyone. Its rip-roaring music will be a hit, I guess," he said.

Set wholly in rural Punjab, the Yash Raj Films production also stars Sherlyn Chopra, Anupam Kher, Dalip Tahil and Rakhi Sawant. Singh said they chose the Punjabi-sounding title and Punjab for the shooting because of the north Indian state’s cultural vibrancy and its global appeal.

"Another unique thing about this film-cum-comedy is that there is no trace of any city or skyscrapers in it. We did all our shooting in villages outside Chandigarh, Ludhiana, and Amritsar over 80 days," he said.

Asked why he chose Rani and Shahid for the lead role, he said: "I wanted to bring in a pair which had never worked together before. There is some sort of freshness about Rani and Shahid working together. There was instant chemistry between the two. For Shahid, it is an entirely different role after Kaminey."

Singh, who has assisted Rakesh Roshan in five films, said he was asked to direct Dil Bole Hadippa by Aditya Chopra, his childhood friend. And it was while writing the script that Singh visualised Rani and Shahid as the lead pair.

"When Aditya and I were working on the script, we had only Rani and Shahid in mind. The two agreed to the role the moment we sat with them with the script," Singh said.

"Aditya, Hrithik Roshan and I grew up together. In fact, Aditya and I watched every single movie every Friday for 20 years. So doing Dil Bole... is kind of a home production for me. And it was Hrithik who asked me to work with his dad. I have learnt my art from Rakesh Roshan," he said.

The film is set for release in India and 20-odd countries Sep 18.

Singh, who has a three-film contract with Yash Raj Films, said he looked forward to a break before starting on his next venture.

"I will take a month’s break and then think about the next film," said the director who also co-produced films like Hum To Mohabbat Karega and Jurm.

What’s your Raashee? is another Bollywood film being premiered next week at the festival that is on till September 19.

Rani Mukherjee trying co star Shahid to take up yoga

Not content with shedding all those excess kilos and getting into super shape for her role of a cricketer in ’Dil Bole Hadippa’, actress Rani Mukherjee is now also trying to entice co star Shahid to take up yoga. This is something which even his former girlfriend Kareena Kapoor could not get him into.

Apparently, Rani has gone even a step further and even offered to lend her trainer to the actor. Incidentally, Rani’s trainer trained Kareena during the Tashan days, when the actress was trying to acquire her size zero figure. Talk of connections. Meanwhile, Shahid is believed to be quite open to the offer of going the yoga way as he is looking for something which is more natural and holistic.

Of course, the transformation in Rani is proof enough of that. The actress seems to have gambled heavily in ’Dil Bole Hadippa’. She has done things that she never needed to do in career before, like getting into a bikini. In her time, Rani never needed to resort to all that. But times have changed and it is Rani who needs to lure in the audiences. And so the actress has done everything that she can to match up with today’s girls. One hopes for her sake that the film works. It has lots going for it and the icing on the cake should be the presence of Shahid, who is on an all time high after the success of ’Kaminey’. Maybe, Rani’s gesture of lending her trainer is just her way of saying ’thank you’ to the young actor.
