Rani Mukherjee will be seen playing a fairy in director Kunal Kohli’s next film.
The movie, yet untitled, will be a fantasy fiction of sorts with Rani and Saif Ali Khan in lead roles. Amisha Patel also plays an important part in the film.
Kohli is extremely secretive about the project, but the grapevine says the film is roughly inspired from the Mary Poppins stories. The movie will reportedly have Rani playing an angel with a magic wand and a resplendent dress.
Speaking of costume, it is also learnt that Rani will wear just one costume throughout the film. Fashion designer Manish Malhotra has reportedly designed the costume for Rani.
RANI AND SAIF JODI
Rani and Saif have paired together in the past in films like Tara Rum Pum and Hum Tum . While the former was a flop, the latter (directed by Kunal Kohli) was a superhit. Even on Koffee With Karan, when the actress was asked who was her favourite co-star, Rani named Saif.
KUNAL KOHLI AND YASHRAJ
Kunal Kohli has directed three films of his career for Yashraj Films . Only one of them (Hum Tum) proved to be a hit at the box-office. His last film Fanaa had an average run and critics found the movie disappointing.
With his next film, Kohli is turning in-house producer for Yashraj Films. The movie goes on the floors in November.
