Rani Mukerji on working in Aditya Chopra's directorial: It will be too weird

Rani Mukerji is currently occupied with the promotions of her upcoming film Hichki. In the film, Rani plays the role of a teacher who suffers from Tourette syndrome. In an interaction with a leading Indian daily, Rani was asked about how motherhood has changed her, Rani said, "Amazingly! My life is changed 360 degrees because child gives birth to a mother. Every mother is different as every child is different. It is really an amazing phase of my life that I am going through today because nothing is more important than my daughter. And it is going to be a really interesting phase in films too because if Hichki runs, I would be part of many more great film ahead but if the film doesn’t do extremely well, I might not be able to do so many films frequently since it is all about box office."

"I am really geared to do more films. I am in my best phase of life right now where I am so happy because of my daughter. Today, when Adira says, Oye Hichki, my heart melts. I never imagined that I get to hear this one day. When you are single, you always think that marriage will happen but it is never a reality, it is always a future and when that future had already happened, my marriage happened, I have a child and now my child is singing my song, it’s a weird feeling. When my parents used to appreciate me, I was like okay but a child is a child. When I see her getting excited to see me on screen, it’s a great feeling," she added.


Talking about whether she would work in Aditya Chopra’s directorial, Rani said, "I hope so and we have spoken about it too but I don’t think it would happen. We are just too comfortable with each other as people to be able to look ourselves in the work space together. I will be another character and he has to direct that character. It will be too weird."
