Rani Mukherjee who has been having quite a lean phase for the past four years, has now decided that she should seek work outside Yash Raj banner. The banner which has worked miraculously for most actress has almost sealed the fate of the actress with continuous flops like Laaga Chunari Mein Daag, Thoda Pyaar Thoda Magic and Dil Bole Hadippa. She is now looking for better pastures with other producers.
It is believed that Rani Mukherjee wold play a crucial role in UTV Spotboy’s No One Killed Jessica, a movie based on the life of Jessica Lall. Vidya Balan plays the role of the protagonist Sabrina Lall(Jesica Lall’s sister) in that film. Rani is reportedly being selected to play the role of the journalist who reopened the case of Jessica Lall. Raj Kumar Gupta, of Aamir fame, will shoot the film, which goes on the floors, by the middle of February
Rani Mukherjee is apparently bored of love stories and wants to be a part of thriller projects. This is one precise reason which has made her turn attention to No One Killed Jessica, a fast-paced flick set in the hub of political power, New Delhi. There are reports that both Vidya Balan and Rani Mukherjee are charged up at the prospect of doing author backed roles of two powerful women who mobilize the entire nation. It may be recalled that there was a bit of controversy reported about no love lost between the two actresses since Vidya Balan had declined to work with Rani in Laga Chunari Mein Daag. All of that seems to be a thing of past now. Siddharth Roy Kapur of UTV says, “When you have actors like Rani and Vidya by your side, the joy of creating characters that can shake the audience and leave an impact is immense.”
