Rani Mukherjee in Midnight's Children 
Rani Mukherjee's career which was already on an all time low took a further nosedive after
the debacle of Dil Bole Hadippa. Now, the erstwhile queen bee of B town isn't missing a
chance to clinch any role that might spring her back into limelight. The actress met
acclaimed director Deepa Mehta and author Salman Rushdie last month in Toronto where she
discussed with the duo their upcoming screen adaptation of Rushdie's Booker winning novel
'Midnight's Children.
While Shabana Azmi, Seema Biswas and Nandita Das all the usual suspects have already been
finalized for the film, it's learnt that there is still a slot for an actress, and Rani is
being considered for that part. Deepa Mehta confirms meeting Rani in Toronto recently, but
she adds that nothing has been finalized yet. However, Mehta did make it clear that she
wants to work with Rani in some project. Whether it happens in 'Midnight's Children' or not
remains to be seen. |
