When Aditya Chopra was being pressurised to not cast Rani Mukerji for his films!

Post pregnancy, Rani Mukerji is set to make her comeback with Yash Raj Films’ ‘Hichki’. The film wherein Rani plays a teacher with Tourette Syndrome, is creating the right noise with its trailer, and Rani’s quirky articulation at promotional events.

Hence, we came to know how at one point of time, Aditya was being pressurised NOT to cast Rani in his films!

“After having faced failure for a couple of my films, luckily ‘Mujhse Dosti Karoge’ happened and that’s when I met Adi first time professionally. He told me that I’m doing a couple of crap films and that people have pressured him not to take me because they think you don’t have the equity for a Yash Raj film but Adi had belief in my talent and me and thought that I was good for the part,” she said.

Thank god Aditya did not listen to the ‘people’, though!
