Rani Mukerji is all set to play the character of a fearless cop in her next ‘Mardaani’. Rani will be seen playing the lead role in a film after a long time as she was missing in action. In this film, Rani aspires to give out a social message and inspire girls. She makes an attempt to give out a very strong message to girls who feel unsafe in society. She encourages them to fight back instead of being frightened of unfavorable situations.
The makers of this film focus on giving us a message in this film. They try enlightening us about the social issue of female trafficking in the country. In the trailer of this film, we get the harsh reality of what the situation in the country is and why it could be a threat to many girl children. It is a heart wrenching trailer that shows Rani in a very fearless light as she goes ahead and single handedly fights against people who are involved with this racket. Her role is that of a cop who stops at nothing to prove her dedication to her profession and eradicate the problem of female trafficking.
Rani’s look in this film is very simple and is devoid of any kind of glamour as she had to look the part and make her role come across as authentic on screen. In a recent interview during the launch of the Mardaani Movie anthem, Rani stated that we should stop reffering to this film as ‘woman-centric’ and said that we should only label a film as a good film or a bas film. We have always seen Rani playing challenging roles in the past and it’s no surprise that we will see Rani in this film.
Mardaani releases on the 22nd of August. Rani also said that people shouldn’t compare the film to ‘Singham Returns’. She said that Singham returns is filmed on a very large scale, whereas Mardaani is a small scale film that focuses on a few social issues that need immediate attention. This film will be like a comeback of sorts for Rani Mukerji and it will be interesting to watch if this film works at the box-office and wins its audience. Rani Mukerji who recently married Aditya Chopra, has been away from the spot light for quite some time now. She also stated in an interview that acting and her career in Bollywood is her first priority and will always be. She also said that she prefers to keep her surname and not change it as her fans as they will not be able to relate to her as ‘Rani Chopra’. This film will have a big impact on Rani’s future with Bollywood and bring her back in the spot light.
It is nice to see that filmmakers are taking the efforts into giving us social messages through films. Films that give us much more than just plain entertainment are well appreciated as they give true meaning to cinema as being influential.
