Rani Mukherji has made her place in the good books of Bollywood filmmakers. Among them is Sanjay Leela BhansaIi who has signed the actress for his next two prestigious projects.
Bhansali, who recently signed Rani opposite Salman Khan in his period drama Bajirao Matani, says she is the only actress who “can play Bajirao's wife Kashibai in the movie. I needed a great performer who is also dignified and Rani has all these qualities.”
In fact, Bhansali seems so impressed with the Chalte Chalte star’s acting skill that he has now cast her in another of his forthcoming ventures titled ‘Black’.
“I have signed her [Rani] for both ‘Black’ and Bajirao Mastani because she is a fabulous actress,” Bhansali reportedly said in a recent interview.
‘Black’ stars superstar Amitabh Bachchan in the leading role.
The shooting of ‘Black’ will take place between December and April 2004, while Bajirao Mastani goes on the floors in May 2004.
