SEE: Rani in a bikini

The video of the remix version of Dil Bole Hadippa, which is reminiscent of Break Free and Dhoom Again, features a super slim Rani Mukherjee in bikini tops and mini skirts.

The video has been choreographed by Ahmed Khan, who also did the Mere Sang and Yaaron remix videos. Rani’s costumes have been designed by Manish Malhotra, who also worked on her look in the Phir Milenge Chalte Chalte video.

A source tells us, “Shahid is a brilliant and energetic dancer and Rani, who is also a graceful dancer has matched him step for step. It has been a while since we saw her dancing like this. The promotional video is likely to be used at the end of the film.”

Our source continues, “So far we have seen Rani in Sardarni and cricketer avatars in the movie. This is her other look. The film already has wannashine starlets Rakhi Sawant and Sherlyn Chopra doing item numbers with a lot of skin show but obviously, they don’t have Rani’s class, finesse and star power. Rani doesn’t look vulgar or cheap at all. Almost all YRF movies have their heroines in bikinis; take the Dhoom flicks, Tashan and Thoda Pyaar Thoda Magic for example. The actresses have lost weight for their roles and Rani is no exception. She has lost a lot of weight and it shows. The last time she wore a costume was in Chalte Chalte.”

Payal Gidwani, who made Kareena achieve her size zero figure has helped Rani with her Yoga routine too. She told us, “Rani weighed 56 kilos but now she weighs only 49. Her hard work has paid off and the results are for everyone to see. Her problem was her lower area but now the structure of her body has changed. Her metabolism and stamina have also increased. There is a glow on her face and she looks great. She doesn’t miss a single Yoga session even if she is traveling and practices for 2 hours every morning.”

Rani and Harman in Toronto

Forgotten actors Rani Mukherjee and Harman Baweja have a reason to celebrate; their forthcoming films will be screened at the prestigious Toronto festival.

Dil Bole Hadippa and What’s your Rashee will be screened at the festival along with other foreign films. Both Rani and Harman are banking on these films for their fate in Bollywood will be sealed after their release. Considering Rani has been out of the scene since a while now and Harman’s bad luck is making the most of him, the added attention the film’s get is only better.

What’s your Rashee stars Harman Baweja and his more successful ex-girlfriend Priyanka Chopra. While Piggy Chops has nothing to worry about, Harman’s last two films Love Story 2050 and Victory sank without a trace. The same could go for Rani, Laaga Chunari mein Daag and Thoda Pyar Thoda Magic were unbearable boxoffice duds and she’s going all the way for Dil Bole Hadippa. Right from havans and pooja’s, she’s doing the very best to ward off the evil from her filmi career.

Rani plays a woman impersonating a man in the Shahid starrer Dil Bole Hadippa and the film has been touted as a direct lift off Amanda Bynes’s She’s the Man. Whereas What’s your Rashee, is Ashutosh Gowarikar’s effort in making something less patriotic and periodic.

Whether or not the two films will make news at the festival, we don’t know but let’s just hope the Raashee of both these films fare better than the actor’s career’s themselves!

Rani-Rakhi Sawant item number in DBH!

The Rani Mukherjee-Rakhi Sawant connection began with the movie Saawariya. The resemblance between Rani Mukherjee’s character in the movie and Rakhi Sawant was quite obvious to all. Now, Rani is all set to perform an item number in her upcoming flick Dil Bole Hadippa! with none other than the original item girl of Bollywood – Rakhi Sawant.

The song is a Punjabi track composed by Pritam and is called ‘Bhangra Bistar’. It has been sung by Sunidhi Chauhan and Alisha Chinai, the lucky mascots for Yash Raj Films who gave the hits ‘Kajrare’ in Bunty Aur Babli and ‘Dhoom Machale’ in Dhoom.

As stated by a source, “As Rani is dressed like a man for the major part of the film, the idea was to get Rani to do that one sizzling feminine number to balance the gender bender. Just like Saira Banu did a ‘Thoda sa thehro’ in Victoria No. 203 where she was dressed as man, Rani has ‘Bhangra bistar’ in Dil Bole Hadippa!”

The dusky beauty Rani is concentrating on shaping herself up before they begin to rehearse for the song. She is viewing the dance with the hot Rakhi as a challenge. The movie is slated to release in September 2009.

Rani, go for it, girl!

Pack Up time for 30+ lot of hotties

How many of us remember the memorable songs from “Kuchh Kuchh Hota hai”? Rani Mukherjee prancing around in short skirts and trendy bags..with moves ala Zeenat Aman. She had arrived. Guys wanted her, girls wanted to be like her. Just around the corner was a cute, effervescent girl…with a dimpled smile..no prizes for guessing that one. It was Preity Zinta. Whether it was her charm in Kal Ho Na Ho or her portrayal of a neurotic girl in Armaan, she charmed the hearts of millions of Indians…that alas was many moons ago. Cut to circa 2008 – 09. Enter Deepika Padukone, Sonam Kapoor, Priyanka Chopra and Katrina Kaif. These girls have taken the country and the film industry by storm. While Priyanka is everyone’s favourite “Desi Girl” Sonam has become the new “Masakalli” of the Indian junta. Katrina has not only managed to become the “it” girl with the filmwallas but also rules in the brand endorsement market. Every brand wants her pretty face to say how good their products are. Om Shanti Om capitulated Deepika into the superstar status overnight. It’s a dream for any new girl to be launched by with SRK and this girl lived to tell the tale. Good films fell into her kitty more easily than for anyone else. From a Yashraj banner to an Imtiaz Ali film, it’s been a dream-like ride for a girl who till very recently was walking the ramps in fashion week as one of the many models. Which brings us to think…what happened to the likes of Rani, Preity n company? Perhaps this question is best answered by taking a look at the market dynamics of the Film industry. Any industry is a reflection of the times we live in and the film industry is no different. Today’s mantra is “what’s next”. With more than 50 % of our population being under 30, we are catering to an essentially restless, fast paced creature whose tastes are young and changing at a rapid pace. This explains the reason why turnaround time for our leading ladies is becoming shorter with each passing decade. I wont even go to explaining the reasons why of Madhubala, Nargis and the likes ruled the industry for as long as they did because that’s like a whole generation away. Let’s look at starting from the 80s, actresses like Hema Malini and Dimple Kapadia ruled the roost for many many years. In spite of being married with kids they managed to be at top for over a decade, getting plum roles and more plum pay packets. They were followed by Sridevi, Madhuri Dixit and Juhi Chawla, who for the longest time were the queen bees. They faded away much later than today’s leading ladies. In today’s times, you’re lucky if people want you 5 years hence. One of the most important reasons from the film industry’s perspective is that a film will almost never get sold on the basis of an actress. Sad but true. A film till today is essentially a “hero” driven vehicle, though there have been exceptions to this rule like a “Black” but that’s what they remain, an exception. Junta still wants to see a Shah Rukh Khan or an Aamir Khan film. I have my doubts if they will ever see a film which will have a Deepika starring with a “nobody”. I highly doubt it. With the scheme of things in the industry, an actress is the most easily replaceable. Actors are the one’s who will always be finalised first and then the actresses and if a scenario happens where one is not available, the other one can fit her shoes just as easily. It’s ironic because on one hand we have a young population who is fairly well versed with Hollywood where actresses are almost equals to their male counterparts. They have roles written for them like a Lara Croft which goes on to become huge blockbusters but the story back home is yet to change. We are yet to see a desi version of Lara Croft or even something like The Reader. The main reason being that films with powerful female leads with “not-so-big” male actors just haven’t found acceptance with the Indian audiences and therefore it’s extremely difficult to sell such a film. We still want to see our heroes, fighting, emoting and dancing with the pretty ones but I don’t if they will accept things the other way round. With multiple options being the mantra of the day, its no surprise that there are so many actresses in the marquee and they keep changing before you blink an eyelid. Well, all I can say is “make hay while the sun shine” ladies because you never know when the sun goes down on you.

Rani Mukherjee compares Sherlyn Chopra with Sophia Lauren

In a profession that witnesses ugly cat fights due to cut throat competition, Rani Mukherjee has taken the first step of complimenting a co-artist for her performance. She surprised Sherlyn Chopra, who has a major role to play in the yet untitled Yash Raj Films production, by not just lending her tips on how to face the camera but also comparing her with none other than Hollywood legend Sophia Lauren! The incident happened recently at BPCL Sports Club where the film, which stars Shahid Kapoor as the male lead, was being shot. Rani was in a particularly happy mood and showered praises on the girl who has not signed any other project than this Yash Raj film and is riding her luck on this single film. She went ahead and called Sherlyn as a younger version of Hollywood legend Sophia Lauren. Since few years back, Bipasha Basu was compared with Sophia Lauren, Sherlyn was naturally ecstatic. "Sophia Lauren comparison? Well, all I can say is that I am humbled. I think Rani has been overtly nice, but hey, who doesn't like compliments? Being someone who is so mature and serious about her work, I sincerely hope that she really meant it when she said so. I would love to keep getting feedback and compliments from an actor of her stature", smiles Sherlyn. The 1934 born Sophia Loren is an Academy Award-winning Italian film actress. She is widely considered to be the most popular Italian actress of her time and is also famous for being a major international sex symbol. Moreover, for the shooting of a particular sequence, even though Rani Mukherjee was not required, she still hung around to see the way Sherlyn approached her scene. Informs a source, "Sherlyn didn't have any clue that Rani was watching her on the monitor, especially for her close up shots. She was engrossed in her performance and was later told by one of the production unit members that Rani was very interested in knowing how she was delivering." The 'bindaas' and 'outrageous' young woman is happy that she was oblivious of Rani's presence on the sets. "Thank goodness, that I came to know about it later because I would have been conscious had I known earlier that Rani was following what I was doing. You never know, I may not have delivered my natural best", says Sherlyn who is looking at reinventing her career while leaving the disappointment of Red Swastik (2007) behind. As per a source from the production unit, Rani was watching Sherlyn's close up shots with keen interest as she is apparently quite fond of her never ending desire to learn the nuances of the art of portraying emotions. In fact, Rani also gave her tips on how to face the camera and explained to her how important it is to know technical details of the varied camera lenses. "Sherlyn was glad that Rani was spending so much of quality time in discussing technical nuances with her", informs the source, "Sherlyn has done only a few films but Rani has been around for so long. She is a reigning star and for someone like her to spend time with her says volumes about her humbleness and professionalism. She was being a friend as well as a mentor, a good combination indeed. Who wouldn't want to learn from a senior actor like her?"

Old is gold for Rani Mukerji

It’s old is gold for Rani Mukerji.

An outfit she wore for Zee Cine Awards on March 26, 2005 (above left), at Excel, Docklands in East London, was pulled out for her yoga teacher Payal Gidwani’s wedding to Manish Tiwari this week (above right).

The dress is no different but Rani surely has shrunk, though for the sexier. In fact, her fitness instructor Satya recently claimed that Rani has the best body in Bollywood now.

Wish she buys a new wardrobe to flaunt her new figure.

Rakhi to fall in love with Rani Mukherji

In Yash Raj’s latest production Hadippa, Rani Mukherji is playing the role of a man, more precisely a Sardarji. And guess who is wooing her? Rakhi Sawant. Rakhi has a comical item song in the film where she’s trying to get Rani to fall in love with her, not knowing she is actually a woman!

Hope Rani is able to re-invent herself with this film and so bounce back into the race.

No questions about Rani please, says Pamela Chopra

Pamela Chopra was recently invited to Hyderabad for a seminar. The organisers wanted her to interact with the panel. She agreed to do so but on one condition.

She told the panel clearly that they could not ask her a single question about Rani Mukherji, or even mention her name!

Is this the Chopra family’s way of saying Rani is out of their lives? We have to wait and see..

Rani unlucky at home

On her astrologer's advise Rani Mukerji has reportedly decided to move out of her bungalow in Juhu and buy a flat somewhere in Versova, an area she lived in when he career was prospering.

Rani shifted to her Juhu bungalow last year but ever since then her career has only gone downhill. Her last couple of films have been miserable flops and she is now working in only one movie. This is in sharp contrast to the success she enjoyed just a few years ago.

Her astrologer has told her to shift out of her bungalow for sometime, as it could be the house that’s bringing her bad luck.

Rani's new found kick-ass figure

After being criticized for her out of shape self, Rani has finally managed to achieve a leaner frame and all this with the help of good old friend Aamir. Just when Rani Mukherjee was struggling badly to lose weight, good friend Aamir came to her rescue. Rani has always been struggling to look slim, from strict diets to regular working out regimes; Rani has tried all she could to fight flab but all her attempts failed. And that's when Aamir suggested his personal trainer Stayajit Chaurasia's name to Rani. Satyajit Chaurasia played a major part in helping Aamir achieve the eight-pack abs look for Ghajini. Being impressed by his work Aamir suggested Rani to hire Satya as her personal trainer. And as they say, hard work pays, after working out an hour every day for two months, Rani has been able to lose oodles of weight and look the way she has always wished for. The all new Rani did a cameo in Aditya Chopra's Rab Ne…in a song with Shah Rukh Khan. Her new slim look had the audience in awe and reminded one of her Ghulam and Kuch Kuch Hota Hai days. The bong babe will next be seen playing cricket in Yash Raj's forthcoming untitled film and we are sure her new found kick-ass figure will play Thoda Magic once again on her fans.

So who won? Katrina, Bebo, Priyanka, Rani or Aishwarya

Bollywood is a place where the heroes are given more importance and the they always see to it that the female co star gets less role, less coverage and less publicity. But times are changing now 2008 has been a year where our heroines have done full fledged meaty roles and on the basis of their hits and misses we analyise the top 5 bollywood actresses of 2008. Katrina Kaif - Her first release of the year was Race-an Abbas Mastaan thriller with lots of enjoyable twists and turns. Katrina is paired with Akshaye khanna, while Saif and Bipasha are aso there in the cast. Katrina plays the soft decent cute secretary of Saif who adores Saif and is with him through thick and thin and how in the climax turns out to be the bad mans fiancee and how she backstabs Saif. This film did really well in the boxoffice and was said to be a hit. her next film was Singh is King which was a super hit in the box office and Katrina is paired with Akshay kumar and inspite of the story revolving around a punjabi villager who comes to town and all the misadventours that happen and he ends up to become the Australian underworld king, Katrina's role is worth a watch. Her third film of the year was Hello where she is paired opposite her beau Salman in the entire film her role was only for a few minutes. So it was her guest appearance in the film and the film too dint do well in the box office. Katrina's fourth and the last film of this year was Subhash Ghai's Yuvvraaj where again she is seen with Salman in the film. Anil Kapoor and Zayed are also included in the cast. Katrina gave a good performance but the film in all did not do well. So Katrina managed to get two hits and two flops in the year. Kareena Kapoor - Started her year 2008 with Tashan which did not do well in the boxoffice.The film was produced by Aditya Chora and Yash Chopra under Yash Raj films. Akshay, Anil, Kareena and Saif were appreciated for their performances. The film was not for intellectuals or for people looking for a perfect script, as it was nothing new. Kareena looked glamourous in a bikini. On the day of its release, the film opened to a 75-80% response but well short of the expected bumper opening due to the multiplex revenue sharing problem, which didn't allow the film to be released in major multiplexes across India. Due to this, the film lost a major chunk of its revenue. Then came in Roadside romeo the first major computer animated film.The title character, a dog living in the city of Mumbai is voiced by Saif and his girlfriend, Laila, is voiced by Kareena. The story was about a rich dog who was abandoned on the streets of Mumbai and all the difficulties and all the dangerous characters he comes across. This film again opened with a poor response and dint do well in the boxoffice.Kareena's third and last film of the year was Golmaal Returns which was a remake of an old Bollywood comedy. Kareena plays the role of a suspicious wife of Ajay Devgan who hapens to spend one whole night out of the house with Celina Jaitely just to help her from some bad people. To hide this fact from his wife all the stories that he has to cook and all the difficulties that happen then is actually the story of the film.The film did really well and was a super hit and inspite of Kareena not having a meaty role in it she still managed to get a hit in her kitty. Priyanka Chopra -This actress has given the maximum number of release in 2008. Her first release is Love Story 2050 where she is paired opposite Harman Baweja, it was a mega budget special effects film.Priyanka's performance was not appreciated and the film crashed badly at the box office. Her next one was God Tussi Great ho opposite Salman Khan. The film was a remake of the Hollywood film Bruce Almighty.Where Salman challenges God and in return God comes down to Earth and asks him to take up his job and all the mess that happens after that. The film did not make news in the box office. This was followed by Chamku, the story of a shooter Bobby Deol and how he falls in love with Priyanka and his life changes after that.Priyanka's performance was appreciated but the film failed in the box office.Then came Drona a contemporary fantasy fable. The film was a horrific disaster. Then came Priyanka's two most awaited films of the year Fashion and Dostana.In both the films priyanka has acted brilliantly. In Fashion she plays a small town girl who comes to the city of dreams to fulfill her dreams and for that she has to pay a heavy price. In Dostana she plays a funfilled light character of being friends to John and Abhishekh.Both the films did really well in the box office giving Priyanka her much awaited hits. Rani Mukherji - Had just one film which was Thoda Pyar thoda Magic where Rani plays the role of a childlike, mischeivious, lovable angel who comes to the rescue of four orphans and their dad.The film was directed by Kunal Kohli but he was still unable to create the magic of Hum Tum.It did not do well in the box office. Aishwarya Rai Bachchan - This year Aishwarya came up with two releases Sarkar Raj and Jodhaa Akbar. In Jodhaa Akbar she was opposite Hritik Roshan. A romantic, biographical and historical movie, which was set in a era of revolt, conspiracies and war.Aishwarya looked and acted brilliantly in the film.The film did good business in India and very good buisness in the overseas. Her second flick Sarkar Raj was opposite hubby Abhishekh Bachan.It also got her critical acclaim apart from box office success. After the entire analysis of all the five actresses we come to the conclusion that Katrina Kaif is on the top of the list with two hits in a row and two flops, then in the second position its Priyanka Chopra with two hits and four flops and then its Aishwarya Rai with one hit and one flop followed by Kareena who has two flops and one hit and then comes Rani with only one release and that to a flop.

Rani Mukherjee plays a 'Sardar' in YRF's next

Yes, there have been several rumors about Rani Mukherjee's role in YRF's next directed by Anurag Singh. But the truth is finally out. Looking at the pictures above, you must've guessed by now that Rani disguises herself as a Sardar in the film. Rumour has it that Rani plays the character of a cricket enthusiast, who is obsessed with the sport, so much so that she will go to any level to play it. This obsession pushes her to disguise herself as a man and enter an all male cricket squad. Shahid Kapoor, who plays the male lead opposite Rani in the film, also seems to be a part of the cricket team. However, no official confirmation about the film's storyline has come from Yash Raj Films, hence, we'll have to wait and watch how Rani makes her way into the cricket team and how well she is at playing the sport. Also, it will be interesting to see the chemistry between Rani and Shahid onscreen since the camaraderie between the two looks marvelous in the picture above.

The New Director of Bollywood

Rani Mukerji is currently working on a Yash Raj film with first-time director Anurag Singh. The yet untitled film is based around a cricket match and stars Shahid Kapoor. Recently, the cast and crew had a schedule in Amritsar where they shot major portions of the film.

Sources reveal that Rani is quite unhappy with the way the film is shaping. It is learnt that she's taken to directing major sequences herself. A source adds, "Anurag has been an assistant to Rakesh Roshan in the past on Koyla, Karan Arjun and other films. This is his first time directing big stars like Rani and Shahid."

Apparently, Rani isn't too happy with the way Anurag lights up the scenes and with his style of working.

Onlookers from the sets reveal she often walks to the monitor checking her scenes. If she isn't satisfied, then she directs the scene herself. "There have been a couple of instances when Anurag has okayed the take, but Rani has incorporated changes on her own. However, whenever she's happy with Anurag's takes, she goes and congratulates him."

It is clear that Rani doesn't want to take a risk with a newcomer and wants to make sure the project is a success for her.

Shahid Kapoor and Rani Mukherji to romance each other!

It seems all the bong babes of Bollywood aspire to romance guys half their age. After Bipasha Basu wooed Ranbir Kapoor in Bachcna Ae Haseeno it’s the turn of Rani Mukherjee. The ageing beauty who’s had a spate of flops at the Box Office including Laage Chunari Mein Daag and Thoda Pyaar Thoda Magic will be seen with chocolatey boy Shahid Kapoor.

It will be interesting to see the chemistry between Rani and her sworn enemy Kareena’s ex beau. The movie will give Rani a chance to hide her ageing signs starring opposite a much younger hero!

I hate being called Yashraj girl: Rani Mukherji

The insinuation that Rani is a resident Yashraj heroine has the talented actress fuming.

A source close to Rani says it takes the actress all her willpower to stop herself from bursting a blood vessel when she's referred to as the ghar ki heroine at Yashraj.

"What exactly do people mean by this?" says a source very close to Rani. "Agreed Rani has done comparatively more films with the Yashraj banner.

But that's because any heroine in Bollywood would be foolish to turn down an author-backed heroine-centric part like Laga Chunri Mein Daag. And so what if the film didn't work? She's very proud of the film and rates it among her best films."

Continues the source, "In fact Rani makes it a point to remind people that lately she did Karan Johar's Kabhi Alvidaa Na Kehna, Ravi Chopra's Baghban and Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Saawariya. None of these is a Yashraj film."

In fact if rumours are to be believed, Rani is on the verge of signing a couple of films that are far removed from the Yashraj banner.

"One of course is Sanjay Leela Bhansali's historical Bajirao Mastani which is far from shelved. Sanjay plans to make the film in the near future. And while the rest of the cast may change Rani as Bajirao's wife remains in place. There are other films that Rani is seriously considering, " says the source.

Says the source, "Some time ago Rani said no to Mira Nair's Namesake for emotional reasons. The excuse was dates. But Rani had her own reasons for foregoing a role that has changed Tabu's career internationally.

Today Rani is in a space were she realizes being hard-headed and business-like is what Bollywood is all about. She certainly doesn't want to be branded a Yashraj heroine."

Whispers that she acts like a hostess at Yashraj Studios are strongly denied by people close to the organization. "This is all in people's minds. Rani is at home in every production house.

Have you seen her with Karan Johar or Sanjay Bhansali? She's totally relaxed in their homes, has long chats with their mom and even goes into their kitchen at will."

At the moment Rani is in intense preparation for her cricket film with new director Anurag Singh.

Says the source, "It's being said she's agreed to work with a new director because of the banner. But hello? Rani has worked with Kunal Kohli and Shaad Ali.

Even Karan Johar was a debutant when Rani did Kuch Kuch Hota Hai.As for working with only Yashraj Kunal Kohli's Thoda Pyaar Thoda Magic is entirely Kunal's production. Yashraj have only lent their name."
