For the first time in her career, Rani Mukerji will do a hot disco number

Prithwish Ganguly

    Rani Mukerji is certainly having fun. On the one hand, she has delivered a hard-hitting performance in her last film and on the other, she is gearing up for some matkas and jhatkas in the “Housefull” sequel. Yes, for the first time in her career, the actress will be seen in an item song. Even though she is a fantastic dancer, for some reason, she has stayed away from item songs so far in her career. However, she isn’t ready to talk about it. A trained Odissi dancer, Rani says, “As of now, this is hearsay and I’d like to leave it at that. I have really not done an item number in my career, but I’m open to it. Doing it totally depends on how the song is being presented and if it excites me. I love dancing and I think such special songs have a lot of energy. It’s fun to see and shoot.” So will this number be choreographed by Vaibhavi Merchant, who is a close friend of Rani and has directed her dance moves in “Bunty Aur Babli” and “Thoda Pyaar Thoda Magic”? We’ll keep you posted.
Now Dadasaheb Phalke award for the actress
    After collecting every other award in the country for her performance in “No One Killed Jessica”, Rani will soon add the Dada Saheb Phalke Academy Award to her collection. She confirms, “I’m happy that people have loved my film and my work. I have always let my work do the talking and I guess I have proved to my critics that I’m not over. It’s a great feeling to be back winning awards. The past three years had been challenging because I didn’t have box office success behind me. People forget the body of work, and the amount of blood and sweat that you put in for years and write you off, so I’m very happy to get this prestigious award.”
