Aditya Chopra to celebrate Rani Mukerji's birthday

Aditya Chopra and  Rani Mukerji

 

Actor Rani Mukerji, who celebrates her 36th birthday on March 21st, will be partying with alleged beau Aditya Chopra. In fact, rumour has it that Aditya has planned a surprise party for his lady love.

Till now Aditya and Rani have kept their relationship under wraps, till recently when rumours of them planning a destination wedding in Rajasthan surfaced again. In fact Rani was also spotted wearing a huge solitaire on her ring finger sparking speculations of engagement with Adi. However, the news was denied by Aditya's younger brother actor Uday Chopra.

In the meanwhile Adi is preparing for the birthday bash while Rani herself is shooting for her latest film Mardaani in Delhi.

Mardaani is produced by Aditya Chopra and directed by Pradeep Sircar.

Rani's 'Mardaani' brings Delhi neighbourhood to standstill

 

A quiet, leafy South Delhi neighbourhood was abuzz Friday morning as news trickled into homes and busy markets that Bollywood star Rani Mukerji was shooting in one of the houses.


"Did you know that Rani is in Chittaranjan Park," squealed Manushi, a 20-year-old househelp, as she excitedly passed on the news on the phone to her friends in the neighbourhood - and beyond.

Rani is in the capital to shoot for "Mardaani". Being directed by Pradeep Sarkar and produced by Aditya Chopra, the film will see the actress in khakis.

Even Kajol's curious about cousin Rani's wedding

Burly private guards, wearing black safari suits, cordoned off an entire area around a neighbourhood park, not allowing even househelps and courier boys to transgress the road leading to the house.

Many older residents were upset at this "unwarranted intrusion" into neighbourhood peace, but the younger ones revelled in a sense of pride of their neighbourhood being a location for a Bollywood film.



"Do you think they will show our park in the movie," one housemaid was overheard asking another. When an irate neighbourhood gent asked one of the guards on whose authority they were blocking off a colony road, one of them said: "Sir, we have taken all necessary permission and clearances, including from the resident association."



After an outcry in the media and complaints from citizens a couple of weeks ago over private guards blocking off busy arterial roads in East Delhi where Hrithik Roshan and Katrina Kaif were shooting and creating huge traffic jams, the shooting team appeared to be more circumspect this time and the guards were scrupulously polite in dealing with residents even while diverting people and traffic away from the location.



But the long line of vans and cars that make a production unit's cavalcade nevertheless created traffic choke points even as groups of people stood at various vantage points near the house and craned their necks to catch a glimpse of their favourite star.

"She was dressed in jeans-jacket and the onlookers were saying that she looks different off the screen," said Ramakanta Mahanta, an onlooker who got a glimpse of the actress of hits like "Saathiya", "Hum Tum" and "Black".

Kangana Ranaut is the new goon in ‘Revolver Rani’

 

'Revolver Rani' presents Kangana Ranaut in a look like never seen before.

After making headlines for her peppy character Rani in her upcoming film ‘Queen’, Kangana Ranaut is all set for a bold, rustic and goon avatar in ‘Revolver Rani’.
‘Revolver Rani’ presents Kangana Ranaut in a look like never seen before. This time she comes as Alka Gujjar, the ‘Woman who will take the pants of mankind’ almost literally.
The actress essays the role of a local goon who loves ‘phasion, phun aur gun’ – Fashion, fun and guns. Kangana gets it right with the rustic accent and look which is yet again de-glam.
In a sequence in the trailer, Kangana dons a quasi Princess Leia look of the Star Wars series. Though she checks the costume box there but lets her hair be.

The film also stars Vir Das as an aspiring actor who wants to make it big in Mumbai and seeks Kangana’s help for the same. The trailer’s snippets also suggest that Vir Das plays Kangana’s boy toy in the film!

The film also stars Piyush Mishra, Zakir Hussain and Pankaj Saraswat and is slated for release on 11th April.
The film is directed by Sai Kabir Shrivastav and is produced by Raju Chadha and Crouching Tiger Production.
