Recently, RekhaAfter watching the special screening of the movie, Rekha said, "Mrs. Chatterjee vs Norway, was both exhilarating and heart-wrenching, was sitting at the edge of my seat from the word go. It was an absolute delight to watch the dynamic performance of this 'Bengal Tigress' of a mother fight tooth and nail for her kids. This film is for the world to see what 'Mother India' is all about! This time around Rani has outdone herself in the role of the Eternal mother... depicting all the faces of Durga Maa... the ultimate 'Mother', an intense performance worth watching countless times! She walks through fire, straight into our hearts! What a pleasure to see the actor and character melt into each other! I also want to congratulate the entire cast and crew especially the Director, who were on point and beyond! A special mention of Jim Sarbh for his flawless and constrained performance!

To those out there who have been wondering why Abhishek Bachchan is not part of the Bunty Aur Babli sequel and why he was replaced by Saif Ali Khan opposite Rani Mukherjee, here is the answer: Abhishek and producer Aditya Chopra had a professional fall-out during the making of Dhoom 3.A source in the know reveals, The script for Dhoom 3 was being constantly changed in Aamir Khans favour. Abhisheks protests to producer Aditya Chopra and director Vijay Krishna Acharya fell on deaf ears. The last straw was the climax. When Abhishek arrived at the location for the shooting he was told that the entire climax had been changed without his knowledge. This is when Abhishek put his foot down. He told Adi that he would not work in the Dhoom franchise again.Abhisheks (right) decision to stand up and let his displeasure about the changes be known to the producer, did not go down well with Aditya Chopra. Continues the source, Since the nasty experience with Dhoom 3 there has been a cold war between Abhishek and Aditya Chopra. Bunty Aur Babli 2 was offered to Abhishek. But he refused the offer.Interestingly Abhishek and Rani Mukherjee (producer Yash Chopras wife and the leading lady of Bunty Aur Babli 2) stopped speaking to one another after Bunty Aur Babli in 2006. Lets hope this cold war ends in the near future. One cant imagine Dhoom 4 without Abhishek.

Rani Mukerji s back injury is a thing of the past as we have learnt that she has already resumed hectic promotions for her forthcoming film, Hichki.Rani is absolutely fit and she will be promoting Hichki non stop for about 60 days! She has resumed all her promotions from day before yesterday. She wants to give her all to promote Hichki , a film she thoroughly believes in, says a source. Rani Mukerji was on the sets of Indias Next Superstar last week to shoot for the show when she had excruciating backache because of which she could not shoot that show. She has fully recuperated and has been shooting long hours since day before.
Rani Mukerji is going the extra mile to spread the sensitive message of her forthcoming film Hichki.She has devised a plan that will see her promoting the film in five different local languages in an attempt to reach out to more audiences and inform them about this special film. Rani will be promoting the film in Marathi, Bengali, Punjabi, Hindi and Bhojpuri to reach out to as many audiences as possible. She believes in the message of Hichki and she is leaving no stone unturned to talk to as many people as possible. This local language promotional plan will see Rani record innovative TV content in five local languages to make the film even more relevant in these markets, says an informer. Rani explains, Hichki is a story that has inspired me as an actor and as a person to do my best and reach out to as many people as possible. I feel the responsibility to talk about the important matters that Hichki is trying to tell. The more people I can spread the message to, the better. Hichki focuses on turning a weakness to ones advantage against all odds. It talks about discrimination, prejudice, social stigma and how we can overcome them with positivity and a lot of hard work. Hichki is an extremely relevant film and it attempts to make our world a better place. Hichki narrates the story of Naina Mathur (played by Rani) who has a nervous system disorder, Tourette Syndrome that forces an individual to make involuntary repetitive movements or sounds. Hichki focusses on turning disadvantages into opportunities and staring down at challenges that life throws at one and ultimately winning over them. Hichki is also a subtle reminder about discrimination that exists in our society and has become a part of our daily lives. It highlights this through the story of Naina, who faces discrimination from our society that firmly believes she cannot be a teacher because of her disorder. Progressive, brave and positive, the movie is about celebrating the power of will and determination. Directed by Siddharth P Malhotra and produced by Maneesh Sharma, the movie is set to touch the hearts of audiences when it releases on February 23.
