 Rani Mukherji is a great actress in all bollywood industry. She made her debut in
a powerful performance in the unexpected hit "Raja Ki Aayegi Baraat" and
since then there has been no looking back. In The Year Of 2007 Rani Mukherji
might have had two flops SAAWARIYA and LAAGA CHUNARI MEIN DAAG but she is
confident about the success of her forthcoming film, THODA PYAAR THODA
MAGIC. Set to win the hearts as an angel in the film, she speaks at length.
Q- THODA PYAAR THODA MAGIC is your first release this year.
A-I am all excited about my film. I hope the audience likes it. It's a
different kind of film.
Q-So are you nervous?
A-Come on...no way. I am rather all excited and confident. It has
been a great experience working in a film. This type of a film has never
been tried earlier in India.
Q-Tell me what attracted you so much that you chose to play an angel in
the film...
A- Of course the story line and my role, I have always tried to do
something new for the audience... give them something new. This time too it
wasn't different. I play an angel which no other actress has played earlier
in Indian films.
Q-Does that mean you like experimenting?
A-I have always liked that and done that with my roles. I would
rather say that I have been lucky. My directors have always offered me roles
where I have got the chance to experiment.
Q-So how did you go about playing an angel? Experimented a lot...
A-It was mainly improvisation as there was no set pattern. No one has
seen an angel, so we don't know how they talk or walk. So it was completely
imagination and improvisation.
Q-And you enjoyed a lot doing that...
A-Oh yes... that was an experience (laughs). I did all the stunts
myself. In fact you won't believe the stuntman got crazy. They generally get
more to work with the heroes but this time it was only me who did the
stunts. He hardly got a chance to work with Saif...
Q-Okay... Coming to Saif, you team up with Kunal and Saif once again
after HUM TUM and TARA RUM PUM...
A-That is when your job becomes easy. Kunal is extremely supportive. We
all know each other well. Since there wasn't much I could prepare myself for
the role of an angel it was Kunal who used to guide me but at the same time
he also gave me the room. There were times when I completely surprised him
by doing something on my own. It always helps when you work with friends.
Q-And what about Saif?
A-Oh! He is a great person and actor but more than that we are good
friends. We have seen each other evolve as actors since the days of HUM TUM
and that's why we also inspire one another as actors. (Smiles)
Q-So you mean playing an angel was all about fun...
A-For me it was... (Pauses) there were hard times but that got lost in
the fun. I play a role where I am not supposed to cry because I have come to
the world to spread love. This angel doesn't have a tear gland. Controlling
one's emotion is a tough job. And then there were times when I was tied hard
in the stomach with a harness, to give that particular look. It was very
painful... |
