Is Aditya Chopra responsible for getting Rani Mukherji a YRF movie?

If the rumour mills doing the rounds are anything to go by, the hush-hush “affair” between actress Rani Mukherji and filmmaker Aditya Chopra is slowly coming out in the open.

After veteran actor Shatrugan Sinha accidentally spilled the beans about their secret affair during a public event, which was held to honour the late Yash Chopra, Rani and Aditya have probably decided it’s futile to hide their “love” for each other.

The latest to hit the newsstands is that Rani will be playing the lead role in Yash Raj Films' next project.

The news isn’t that she was handpicked for the role, but the fact that it was her rumoured beau Aditya who is responsible for the casting.

“Aditya and his team were scouting around and thought Rani seemed to be an obvious choice, for more than one reason. Plus, the production house is really fond of her,” the Indian media reported.

Some reports even emerged over how it wasn’t Aditya but director Pradeep Sarkar who nominated Rani for the part. ,“Things just fell into place,” he reportedly told an Indian tabloid.

Titled ‘Mardaani’, the movie is touted as YRF’s boldest movie till date, and Rani will be playing a cop.  The movie will be helmed by Pradeep, who earlier directed Rani in ‘Laaga Chunari Mein Daag’. Rani was earlier seen in ‘Talaash’ alongside Aamir Khan.
