Rani Mukerji confirmed for new film in 2017

Only a few days ago, BizAsia had reported that Rani Mukerji was in talks about making a return to the silver screen with her first film after giving birth.

It now has been confirmed by the actress’ spokesperson that she will indeed be seen in a movie in 2017. However, details on the project are currently sketchy.

The spokesperson was cited in DNA India saying, ���Rani will definitely be doing a film next year, but she is currently in the process of reading scripts. As soon as she decides, we will be able to announce it.�۝

Mukerji has been linked to Siddharth Malhotra’s project, to be produced by Yash Raj Films. A source close to the project told the publication, ���Rani plays the central lead in Siddharth�۪s film. Like Mardaani, this one too will deal with a strong social issue. He narrated the script to Adi first and then Rani. They both loved it and Adi will produce the film. Siddharth, Adi and Rani have been meeting and working out the project regarding dates et al.�۝

The source added, ���Since her baby Adira�۪s birth, Rani has become a full-time, hands-on mother, completely immersed in caring for her child, but in December, Adira will be a year old and the actress will find time to work by then. It took time to convince her to act again, but Adi heard the script and felt it would be perfect for her, after Mardaani.�۝
