NEW DELHI: Bollywood actor Rani Mukherjee has kickstarted the shooting of her comeback film ‘Hichki,’ officials at Yashraj films said today.
The officials said that Rani will play a specially-abled person in the movie, which comes two-and-a-half years after her last film ‘Mardaani,’ in which she donned the role of a police woman.
According to Rani, Hichki is a positive and inspiring story about a woman, who turns her biggest weakness into her biggest strength.
Speaking about her role, the actor said, ”I was looking for a script that would challenge and excite me, and Hichki came my way. Each one of us has a weakness, which pulls us back. It could be a disability or any condition, but if we just look at it as simply a hiccup, we can emerge as a winner.
”It won’t come in the way of achieving our dreams. Hichki is built on this positive premise and I decided to take it up,” she added. ‘Hichki’ is being directed by Siddharth P Malhotra, who made his directorial debut with ‘We are Family’. It will be produced by Maneesh Sharma, along with Yashraj Films.
It will be Maneesh’s third film as a producer with the YRF after ‘Dum Laga Ke Haisha’ and the forthcoming ‘Meri Pyaari Bindu’. (AGENCIES)
