It's scary working with Anil: Rani

She has them swooning inthe aisles, with her drop dead good looks and her feisty performance in, which has gone ontobecoming one of the biggest hits of the year in India and overseas.And for once she''s not just killing them with her prettyperformance and pristine good looks, but with her sex appeal. Her swimsuit scenehas ensured that she''s shot to the very top of the pop ratings, without brandingher a jism ''after-shock(er)''. Rani Mukherjee is doing things withclass and élan, in the way appropriate to a Queen. And even the presenceof King Khan in didn''ttake away from her demeanour. Here she is, in a candid chat with(which heavily promotedand marketed the film), revelling in her top-spot status, discussing life andthe future, post Rani: "Well, this is director SudhirMishra''s first attempt at commercial cinema. It''s certainly different and unlikea normal story. I play a novelist who is living two lives. One, as a novelist,the other is the character she''s trying to portray in her writing. It''s reallyinteresting, and I can''t reveal anymore about the story, except that it also hasAnil Kapoor in it.""I must say, he''s so dedicated and such athorough professional at his work. He''s been around for so many years, has beenthrough highs and lows, hits and flops, his share of success and failures...butnothing, absolutely nothing has deterred that man. For him work is worship. He''slike a role model for the new breed of actors; if they can learn anything from anayak like Anil...they''ll go a longway!Rani: "Yes, I''ve been getting a lot of offers fromBengali filmmakers. I''ll be giving deep-thought to the idea of working in aBengali film and work towards it. It''s a pride and a pleasure doing a film inyour own language."Rani:"Well, yes it does. I can''t reveal anything about the film yet, expect that myco-star is Abhishek Bachchan and believe me, this film will definitely be atreat to watch. Just wait ''n'' watch out for the surprise. It is a terrificstory."Rani: "We have a seasoned and brilliant director like ManiRatnam...so I guess this time around something might just happen! Like I said,wait and watch."Rani: "I''ve always dreamed ofplaying Rani of Jhansi. My father is from Uttar Pradesh, and when I was young hewould narrate stories about the ''Rani''. In fact, I''ve been to the fort where shelived and it''s always inspired me. I hope I can portray the real Rani someday.Of Jhansi I mean. I am the real Rani – Mukherjee – anyway."
