Rani Mukerji to make Bollywood comeback?
Rani Mukerji is ready to emerge out of her long hiatus from acting and has signed on for her next, an untitled film helmed by Siddharth P Malhotra (who directed 2010's “We Are Family”), reports Bollywood Life web site.
The film marks Rani's return two years after Pradeep Sarkar's “Mardaani”. As the site quoted a source close to the development, “Rani plays the central lead in Siddharth's film. Like 'Mardaani', this one too will deal with a strong social issue. He narrated the script to Adi (Aditya Chopra, Rani's husband and film producer) first and then Rani. They both loved it and Adi will produce the film. Siddharth, Adi and Rani have been meeting and working out the project regarding dates and other stuff.”
“Since her baby Adira's birth, Rani has become a full-time, hands-on mother, completely immersed in caring for her child, but in December, Adira will be a year old and the actress will find time to work by then. It took time to convince her to act again, but Adi heard the script and felt it would be perfect for her, after 'Mardaani',” the report states.
The film is set to begin rolling in the middle or later half of next year.
