Rani Mukherjee will be turning into a cricketer for an upcoming Yashraj Films movie.Rani, whose last few films haven’t fared well at the box-office, is now taking on only those roles that challenge her as an actress.
One such role will be in an untitled YRF’s production in which she plays a cricketer. The actress has been preparing for her role for the last two months and has been getting on-field training in the game by experts.
Today, Rani claims she has understood the basics and the nitty-gritty of the game well, even though she is far from playing at par with the levels of professionals.“I’ve been learning cricket regularly on the field for the past two months. I can most certainly play the game convincingly now, though not as good as professionals yet,” Rani is quoted in an IANS report.The movie, to be directed by newcomer Anurag Singh, has Rani pairing with Shahid Kapur . It also has hottie Sherlyn Chopra in a small but important role.Even as Rani prepares herself for this film, she is awaiting to see the audience response to Kunal Kohli’s film Thoda Pyaar Thoda Magic in which she plays an angel.In doing this role, Rani had to do several difficult stunts (like flying in the air) with the use of cablework techniques. “It required a lot of physical strength to assume the correct ‘flying’ posture on the harness,” the actress told the agency.
‘Thoda Pyaar Thoda Magic’ is set to release on June 27.
