Revealed: Rani Mukerji's first look in 'Aiyya'

This may well be the actress' zaniest avatar yet; going by TOI's exclusive sneak peek into the promo of Rani's eagerly anticipated film Aiyya that releases today. Draped in a blue chiffon saree with a bonfire as backdrop, Rani reminds you of Sridevi gyrating to the song I love you from Mr India. However, the tad-too-big goggles add a comic twist. Also, a la Madhuri Dixit doing the Maharashtrian lavani in Sailaab, Rani goes the whole nine yards, complete with nose ring and ghungroos. But the not-to-be-missed glares and other paraphernalia is bound to leave the audience in splits.In Aiyya, Rani plays Meenakshi, a simple but crazy Maharashtrian girl who is ready to get married at her family's bidding but can't stop dreaming about a fantasy world.Apart from adding that 'oomph' to her cameo, the actress did extensive research to adapt herself to the role and get used to Maharashtrian culture.She saw a lot of South Indian and Marathi films and spent quality time with Marathi actors to learn the nuances of her part.
