<p>Karan wrote, "A film that was born in my heart and mind 15 years ago....a film I passionately believe in...the last film my father worked on before he left us....it was his dream to see this film come through....I couldn't fulfil his dream then....my spirit was broken....but today his wish has found a relationship with celluloid....the story of turbulent relationships and eternal love has found a voice....the film has been woven,nurtured and visualised by ABHISHEK VARMAN....and the film Is KALANK!"</p>

Karan further mentioned that the initially the film was planned with Shah Rukh Khan, Ajay Devgn, Kajol and Rani Mukerji in the lead but the filmmaker eventually had to drop the idea.

'Kalank' was initially to star Shah Rukh Khan, Ajay Devgn, Kajol and Rani Mukerji?

<p>At the Actresses Roundtable held recently where the successful actresses of 2018 came together to discuss important issues that were dealt with through movies or in real life, Rani Mukerji’s take on #MeToo was&nbsp;trolled by some on Twitter.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Rani was trolled for saying: "I think as a woman you have to be that powerful within yourself, you have to believe that you're so powerful that if you ever come into a situation like that you have the courage to say 'back off.' I think you have to have the courage to be able to protect yourself. You have to take responsibility for your own self."</p>

<p>Other actresses at the table including Deepika Padukone and Anushka Sharma did not look convinced with Rani’s point of view on the burning issue. <a href="http://www.wionews.com/entertainment/social-media-slams-rani-mukerji-on-her-views-on-metoo-as-deepika-anushka-alia-get-together-187548">Read what happened here.&nbsp;</a></p>

<p>When Kangana (who was not a part of the discussion) was asked recently about Rani’s comment, she said, "People who need support, who need to be empowered, we must empower but <em>agar Rani Laxmi Bai</em> <em>jaise</em><em> </em><em>ladkiyan</em><em> agar </em><em>humari</em><em> society </em><em>humein</em><em> de </em><em>sakti</em><em> hai </em><em>toh</em><em> why not, </em><em>unko</em><em> discourage </em><em>nahi</em><em> </em><em>karna</em><em> </em><em>chahiye</em><em>.</em> If they are strong women, we should not discourage women. I was 16-years-old when I filed my first FIR against sexual assault so there are people who can stand up for themselves, they shouldn’t be discouraged."</p>

<p>An important issue that came up from this discussion was how children would defend themselves in a situation like this. To this, Kangana added: "Like I said, empowerment who need, they should be empowered, who need. But, not necessarily everyone needs. Some people can give empowerment also. Some people are givers, the ones who can should be encouraged to give strength, people who are working with NGOs."&nbsp;</p>

<p>Kangana is currently waiting for the release of her next film<a href="http://www.wionews.com/photos/manikarnika-who-plays-who-185270"> ‘Manikarnika’ </a>in which she has not only acted but turned director-producer too. The film is set to release on January 25.&nbsp;</p>

Kangana Ranaut has this to say on Rani Mukerji's take on #MeToo

<p>This year has majorly been about #MeToo gaining momentum in Bollywood as more number of women have come out in the open with their personal stories of horror. As this was discussed at the recently held actresses’ roundtable, actress Rani Mukerji was trolled on the social media for her ‘regressive’ thoughts on how women and men need to behave in the society.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The actresses’ roundtable saw the coming together of the leading ladies of 2018 who were a part of incredible cinema-like Deepika Padukone, Alia Bhatt, Anushka Sharma, Taapsee Pannu, Tabu and Rani Mukerji. A similar thing among them all is that they were a part of cinema that is forward-looking with roles meant for them.&nbsp;</p>

<p>While in the discussion, the topic of #MeToo also came up which drew varied responses from all. Anushka led the front as she spoke about how important this was and the need for onus on the men and how the workplace should be as safe as their own home. She said, "There should be a little sense of fear. Your workplace has to be the second sacred place for you. After your home, your workplace is the place where you should feel the safest and if you're not feeling that way then that's the worst world to be living in.”</p>

<p>To this Rani said, "I think as a woman you have to be that powerful within yourself, you have to believe that you're so powerful that if you ever come into a situation like that you have the courage to say 'back off.' I think you have to have the courage to be able to protect yourself."&nbsp;</p>

<p>Countering her statement, Deepika said, "I don't think everyone is constructed with that sort of DNA."&nbsp;</p>

<p>Rani further said that martial arts and self-defence should be made compulsory in schools, adding that "you have to take the responsibility of your own self."</p>

<p>Deepika looked visibly unhappy with the statement and added: "But why to even bring it to the point where girls should learn self-defence.” The other girls, mostly Anushka Sharma agreed to this.&nbsp;</p>

<p>However, Rani wasn't convinced and later added, "You can’t tell mothers how to bring up their children."&nbsp;</p>

<p>Many social media users called Rani’s statement as “ignorant” and pointed at her privileged background.&nbsp;</p>

After your home, your workplace is the place where you should feel the safest and if you're not feeling that way then that's the worst world to be living in.” To this Rani said, "I think as a woman you have to be that powerful within yourself, you have to believe that you're so powerful that if you ever come into a situation like that you have the courage to say 'back off.' I think you have to have the courage to be able to protect yourself." Countering her statement, Deepika said, "I don't think everyone is constructed with that sort of DNA." Rani further said that martial arts and self-defence should be made compulsory in schools, adding that "you have to take the responsibility of your own self." Deepika looked visibly unhappy with the statement and added: "But why to even bring it to the point where girls should learn self-defence.” The other girls, mostly Anushka Sharma agreed to this. However, Rani wasn't convinced and later added, "You can’t tell mothers how to bring up their children." Many social media users called Rani’s statement as “ignorant” and pointed at her privileged background. I have so many thoughts on this discussion, all about #RaniMukerji and her pov of simply putting the responsibility on the MOTHER vs. the grown men that actually perpetuate the crime. This very notion of women should be a certain way is the very same reason why this shit happens. https://t.co/FGNqNgy79c — Nilam K. Patel (@nilamkpatel) December 30, 2018 × Rani Mukherjee's views on #MeToo are so bloody problematic! Please ask her how a 4 month old baby girl is gonna kick her rapist between his legs?? #ActressesRoundtable — Dishti (@dish_teaa) December 30, 2018 × Ok. So you can't tell hundreds of mothers that they shouldn't bring up misogynistic sons but you want to tell millions of girls out there to compulsorily learn martial arts and defend themselves? This is nothing but victim shaming and blaming. Shame on you, Rani Mukerji! https://t.co/cfvn74fzPM — Sumeet Kaur (@Sumeetkaur102) December 30, 2018 ×

Rani Mukerji to next star in YRF's sequel to hit film 'Mardaani'

<p>Rani Mukerji says she knew that Indian films were popular in China but it was still a surprise to witness the love and respect the audiences have for Bollywood stars when she visited the country to promote 'Hichki'.<br />
<br />
In 'Hichki', Rani played the role of a teacher who suffers from Tourette syndrome, a neurological disorder that causes involuntary vocalisations.<br />
<br />
The film, which released in India in March this year, is currently doing well in theatres in China and the actor was on a multi-city tour to promote the movie there. The film has earned over Rs 150 crore at the Chinese box office.<br />
<br />
Rani said it was phenomenal to see people connect to the story the way an Indian audience would do.<br />
<br />
"They understood each and every emotion of the film. They knew about the film, they had seen the film so there was a lot of positivity everywhere I went. It was surprising because I knew that Indian films are popular but to what degree, I found it when I went there," Rani told PTI in an interview.<br />
<br />
The actor said she decided to be a part of the promotions in China because she wanted to witness the love first hand and it has been an enriching experience for her.<br />
"Interacting with the audiences and Chinese people has made the entire travel so much more inspiring for me. It was just amazing and surprising at the same time because the kind of love they have for an Indian actor and the kind of respect they give you is phenomenal," she added.<br />
<br />
Rani said 'Hichki' has been a special film for her because it was her first film after the birth of her daughter, Adira.<br />
<br />
"It was a difficult time for me since it was my first film after motherhood so I was really anxious leaving my daughter behind and going to shoot but it all went really well. I have more focus today than before because now I want to complete my work to the best of my ability and go back home immediately.<br />
<br />
"Also, there was a lot of goodness attached to the whole process of filmmaking. It's really nice to be around people who work towards a common goal," she said.<br />
The actor believes Indian films do well in China because the two neighbours share a lot of cultural similarities.<br />
<br />
"Our cultures and our way of life is very similar. Indians and Chinese are very similar in terms of family life and in the way they live. So a lot of things are common and I guess that's what really connects our stories to them because it feels very close to home.<br />
<br />
"The language of cinema and emotions is universal. When you make a film which is about human emotions, it kind of clicks in any part of the world and I guess 'Hichki' doing that consolidates the fact. It makes you believe in good content, good cinema and also makes you believe that if you back a project which has heart and soul, there will always be an audience somewhere who will appreciate it," Rani said.&nbsp;</p>

Krishna Raj Kapoor's funeral: Bollywood gathers at Kapoor residence to bid farewell

<p>Almost the entire Bollywood was at Raj Kapoor's residence on Monday to pay their last respect to Krishna Raj Kapoor. The matriarch of the Kapoor family died in the early hours of Monday and brought the entire Kapoor family together under one roof as they bid an emotional farewell to her.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
They say grief can make people come together and that's exactly what happened on Monday. Rivals, former flames all united to mourn the death of one of their own. What caught everyone's attention was a warm hug that actresses Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Rani Mukerji shared.&nbsp;</p>

<p><img alt="Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Rani Mukerji. Image by Yogen Shah" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="f67b775c-ed3e-4178-a025-ef8d2d6c3ebb" src="/sites/default/files/inline-images/ash%20rani1.jpg" /><br />

<p>Aishwarya visited the Kapoor residence with her mother and while leaving the venue, cameras caught Ash chatting up with Alia Bhatt, Karan Johar, Athiya Shetty and Rani Mukerji. For those coming in late, the two actresses were known to be close friends but their relationship soured after Ash was replaced by Rani in SRK's 'Chalte Chalte'. &nbsp;Aishwarya was at that point of time dating Salman Khan and had Khan used to regularly interrupt the film's shooting by dropping in to meet his then-girlfriend. SRK, who was the leading man and the producer, had to eventually replace Ash. Reportedly, Rani's entry did not go down well with Ash.</p>

Almost the entire Bollywood was at Raj Kapoor's residence on Monday to pay their last respect to Krishna Raj Kapoor. The matriarch of the Kapoor family died in the early hours of Monday and brought the entire Kapoor family together under one roof as they bid an emotional farewell to her.

Almost the entire Bollywood was at Raj Kapoor's residence on Monday to pay their last respect to Krishna Raj Kapoor. The matriarch of the Kapoor family died in the early hours of Monday and brought the entire Kapoor family together under one roof as they bid an emotional farewell to her. They say grief can make people come together and that's exactly what happened on Monday. Rivals, former flames all united to mourn the death of one of their own. What caught everyone's attention was a warm hug that actresses Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Rani Mukerji shared. Also see: In pics: Bollywood bids farewell to Krishna Raj Kapoor Aishwarya visited the Kapoor residence with her mother and while leaving the venue, cameras caught Ash chatting up with Alia Bhatt, Karan Johar, Athiya Shetty and Rani Mukerji. For those coming in late, the two actresses were known to be close friends but their relationship soured after Ash was replaced by Rani in SRK's 'Chalte Chalte'. Aishwarya was at that point of time dating Salman Khan and had Khan used to regularly interrupt the film's shooting by dropping in to meet his then-girlfriend. SRK, who was the leading man and the producer, had to eventually replace Ash. Reportedly, Rani's entry did not go down well with Ash.

<p>As Rani Mukerji's latest film Hichki continues to do good business, the actress states that she would not be taking another four years to sign her next film.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
The actress, while addressing media, at the film's success bash, stated that Hichki was a litmus test for her. If the film had not done well, she may not have come back to movies. ": "Yes, I told everyone that my next film will be depending on the audience response of `Hichki`. I think now, I won`t take a long gap, I will make my next comeback soon," Rani said.</p>

<p>"I will be doing more films because that is something I always love doing. But there was a gap for four years because of my marriage and baby. I wanted to see if the audience would be interested to see me onscreen. Now that I know, people are more than happy to see me onscreen, even I am ready. There are projects that I kept on hold before the release of `Hichki` will see the light of the day," said Rani who played the lead role of a teacher in the film.<br />
<br />
She was present along with the director Siddharth P. Malhotra and creative producer Maneesh Sharma at the media meet on Thursday to celebrate the success of "Hichki".<br />
<br />
The actress started shooting for the film when her daughter Adira was just 14 months old. Asked about how she finds the balance between motherhood and work, Rani said: "Well, she (her daughter) was of that age when babies take their first step.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"One day I came back from shooting and she took her first step. I do not want to miss out on any of her milestones, and taking the first step was surely one of them. I was nervous that what if I am shooting and she takes her first step?</p>

<p>"Now she started understanding, especially during the promotion of the film that I go to work. So when I go back home, she says, `Mumma please remove your make-up`. She does not like my makeup, just like her father. So that way, the DNA is working absolutely fine."</p>

<p>The actress also stated that she uses her instinct while choosing films.&nbsp;"Last 22 years, I think I have chosen scripts which have been emotionally connected to me, where I have thought that this is a story which needs to be told and secondly the character which has been offered to me, can I relate to it as Rani?"</p>

<p>The film released on March 23 and so far earned Rs 22.70 crore at the box office.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

Rani Mukerji: Won't take four years to sign my next film

<p>'Family Time with Kapil Sharma'&nbsp;on Sony Entertainment is in news again for all wrong reasons.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The show, which has again opened up Kapil's rivalry with his former co-stars Sunil Grover and Ali Asgar has now landed in trouble for a different reason altogether. There had to be a shoot with Rani Mukerji for her newly released movie 'Hichki' which got cancelled because of Kapil Sharma. A source close to Rani Mukerji revealed that she had to wait for hours before heading back home without any response from the channel. The source said, “Our call time was 6 pm but we were prepared since 2 pm for the shoot. We kept waiting till 6 pm, but we were not contacted by the channel or the team of the show. Eventually, it didn’t happen.” &nbsp;</p>

<p>The show is not even a week old and the host Kapil Sharma has already cancelled two of his shoots.</p>

<p>It was reported that the shoot with 'Baaghi 2' lead pair Tiger Shroff and Disha Patani had previously been cancelled. &nbsp;Regarding the cancellation, Kapil had tweeted, “Tiger was never supposed to shoot for our 2nd episode, so shoot cancel hone ka sawaal hi paida nahi hota.kuch to authenticity rakha karo yaar.Twitter kya ab explanation dene ke liye hi reh gya hai?Best wishes to my brother @iTIGERSHROFF for #baaghi2 see u soon bro.. lots of love.”</p>

<p>As we remember last year had been quite a difficult one for Kapil Sharma after the mid-air feud with Sunil Grover. &nbsp;With so many negative reports making rounds, Kapil Sharma took solace in alcohol, due to which he went into depression and nervous breakdown.</p>

<p>He could not focus on his work and started canceling his shoots. Sony Tv decided to come to his rescue. They came back with new energy and announced the show 'Family Time with Kapil Sharma'. &nbsp;</p>

<p>On March 25, Kapil came back on television and his fans were happy to welcome him back. &nbsp;But if sources are to be believed, the show has turned out to be boring and viewers have criticised the new game show format of the show. &nbsp;</p>

<p>Many feel that the show lacks the&nbsp;punch which they used to see in his earlier comedy show.</p>

With so many negative reports making rounds, Kapil Sharma took solace in alcohol, due to which he went into depression and nervous breakdown. He could not focus on his work and started canceling his shoots. Sony Tv decided to come to his rescue. They came back with new energy and announced the show 'Family Time with Kapil Sharma'. On March 25, Kapil came back on television and his fans were happy to welcome him back. But if sources are to be believed, the show has turned out to be boring and viewers have criticised the new game show format of the show. Many feel that the show lacks the punch which they used to see in his earlier comedy show.

Rani Mukerji's 'Hichki' remains steady at the box office, earns Rs 17.75 crores in four days

<p>The times, they are changing. Years back, a 40-year-old actress would not be getting to play a lead role with no male lead opposite her. Even if she had gone on a maternity break at the peak of her career, Bollywood and the country at large would not have had accepted to watch a film without a male lead. But Rani Mukerji&#39;s latest <em>Hichki </em>is perhaps a change in the right direction. The change came sometime in 2015 and made its place in 2017 with films like <em>Piku</em>, <em>Anaarkali Of Aaraah</em> and the recent <em>Tumhari Sulu </em>- where women took center stage sans the stereotypical hero.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Devoid of the frills and melodrama or a hero, Rani Mukerji&#39;s first film post maternity break, Hichki, &nbsp;rests firmly on her delicate, petite shoulders. And the actress solely takes the story and the film forward. Mukerji plays Naina Mathur, a qualified teacher in search of a teaching job. While her records are meritorious, it is her disorder that proves be to the biggest roadblock or rather the hiccup or <em>hichki </em>in her career. Naina suffers from a neurological disorder called Tourette Syndrome that has Naina making unusual noises and hand movements in the middle of a sentence. Sort of a stammer, that most people think she creates knowingly but in reality are not in control by Naina. Her syndrome leads to job rejections multiple times until she lands herself a job mid-term at the prestigious St Notker&#39;s School to teach a group of students who are shunned by the rest of the school.</p>

<p>Naina is inducted into the school as a last minute resort to teach the notorious 9F Physics and Maths. The students are part of lower strata of the society and are only in the elite school because of new rules imposed by the government on right to education. And while the rest of the school scoffs at them, they themselves aren&#39;t too keen to learn. Instead, they try every trick possible to make Naina, their eighth teacher in 7 months, leave them. But Naina is not the sort who gives up that easily and students slowly come around and fall in love with Naina&#39;s unique way of practical teaching. But time is running out and Naina has not only got to cover the syllabus but also convince the naysayers, including fellow Physics teacher Mr Wadia and the Principal of the school, that her students will pass the annual exams with flying colours.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Based on the book, <em>Front of the Class: How Tourette Syndrome Made Me the Teacher I Never Had</em> by Brad Cohen,<em> Hichki </em>solely concentrates on Mukerji&#39;s character and how despite the odds, she made a difference in people&#39;s lives. Writers Sidharth P Malhotra(also the director) and Ankur Chaudhry keep the narrative linear while concentrating on Naina and her life. Which is why Naina is perhaps the only character which is fleshed out and given backstories. Having faced rejections throughout her life, Naina is assured about her drawbacks and even knows how to make it a part of her life.&nbsp;<br />
While the film talks in details about Naina, there are no back stories given of the students. Multiple times it is reminded that how they come from the lower&nbsp;strata of the society and hence behave irrationally because life doesn&#39;t treat them well but the director restrains from delving deeper into their stories. Yet the actors who play the students shine in their limited roles especially Harsh Mayer - who plays the troublemaker, adamant Atish perfectly.&nbsp;</p>

Such roles are often difficult to portray as one tends to go overboard trying to show the disability, but not Mukerji, who gets into the skin of the character, making Naina a memorable character. The idea is not to make the viewers feel bad or sympathetic about her disorder but to make them aware of it and take them through Naina&#39;s journey as a successful teacher.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
The formidable Neeraj Kabi also delivers a fine performance as the stoic, uppity Mr Wadia who doesn&#39;t want to give the students of 9F a chance to outshine. His character is the dampener to Naina&#39;s energy as he openly criticises her unique ways of teaching and challenges her time and again to prove her students&#39;worth.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
The film though falls flat in certain aspects. The school seems to only concentrate on one class, and just one teacher and the film revolves around the rivalry between 9A and 9F - making it appear as if the school only has select few students.&nbsp;</p>

<em>Hichki </em>makes you aware of a syndrome that most people do not know of. It gives you Rani Mukerji in top form but it falls short of being outstanding.

'Hichki' review: The film rests on Rani Mukerji's able shoulders and she doesn't disappoint

<p>She wrote at length about &quot;sexist stereotypes&quot; and mentioned: &quot;As a woman, I must admit, it has not been an easy journey. I had to prove myself every day.
