Rani Mukerji has found a new fan in Brad Cohen

Rani Mukerji starrer ‘Hichki’, directed by Siddharth P Malhotra, has received a lot of praise from her fans. Brad Cohen, the man whose book inspired the film, recently watched Hichki and was amazed after watching Rani’s performance. The American motivational speaker and educator says the director and actress Rani Mukerji have done a great job in the film.

Cohen’s book ‘Front of The Class’ — detailing how Tourette Syndrome made him the teacher, has inspired the project by Yash Raj Films (YRF). The production banner organised a screening for Cohen in Atlanta on Friday.

‘Hichki’ is about Naina Mathur, who has a nervous system disorder, Tourette Syndrome, that forces an individual to make involuntary repetitive movements or sounds. The film’s narrative focuses on turning disadvantages into opportunities. (Also Check: Rani Mukerji is all smiles as she continues to promote ‘Hichki’ after the film’s success. View Pics!)

“Sid (Sidharth)……Amazing! Phenomenal! You did such a nice job on ‘Hichki’. I had a chance to watch it with over 100 family, friends and fellow educators. Everyone loved it,” Cohen said in a statement to IANS.

I finally had a chance to see #Hichki the Bollywood movie based on Front of the Class. It was amazing! Rani Mukerji did a great job portraying me and @sidpmalhotra has a lot to be proud of as director. I’m honored so many people in India are inspired by my story! #tourette pic.twitter.com/JlqsOcHHBT

“You should have heard the buzz of conversation after the movie. For now just know that I appreciate your perseverance and dedication to share my story and help inspire others across the world. Rani was great! She’s the real deal. I can’t wait to talk to her and you about it. Please give my best to the entire ‘Hichki’ Team,” he added.

On this, Cohen said: “Please thank Yash Raj Film for making the viewing happen. You all feel so far away. I wish you were closer. But for now you all brought a lot of joy to the people closest to me as they had a chance to view ‘Hichki’.”

‘Hichki’ starring Rani Mukerji has been running successfully in theaters.
