Enjoying the success of her comeback film "Hichki", actress Rani Mukerji says
that she has always been instinctive in choosing her films.
At press
conference to mark the success of the film which sees her portraying an aspiring
teacher, who suffers from Tourette syndrome and educating slum kids, Rani, asked
about her future projects and role selection, said: "I have always been
instinctive in choosing my films, right from the start of career till now.
"Last 22 years, I think I have chosen scripts which have been emotionally
connected to me, where I have thought that this is a story which needs to be
told and secondly the character which has been offered to me, can I relate to it
as Rani?"
About the compliments she has been getting for her role, Rani
said: "Everything has been special for me. All the teachers are taking different
grades of students now, you know, one-day fourth grade, one-day fifth grade,
one-day sixth grade, and getting to know all the students, I mean for me there
is nothing better than that.
"And the fact that teachers have understood,
what the movie stands for and it inspired them and they themselves are taking
the students to watch the film... I think that is the biggest victory for us.
The film is a tribute to teachers and they have accepted the film whole
heartily, I don't think there could be a bigger compliment than that."
About CBSE paper leak, Rani expressed her concern about students' vacation
plans.
"Of course, it changes the vacation plans a bit, so you know,
parents who were taking their children on vacation or planning something, that
might take a beating I guess.
"But in terms of students, I am sure they
all are very bright. Today students get 80 or 90, so I don't think giving exam
for them is that much of an issue but plans for holidays or other things, might
become a little problematic now."
Yash Raj Banner "Hichki" is directed by
Siddharth P. Malhotra and released on March 23.
