This special moment commemorated Rani's remarkable achievement of completing three full decades in the Indian film industry, a milestone that highlights her enduring impact on Bollywood.
Social Media Celebration and Stylish Photos
To mark this significant occasion, Karan Johar took to the stories section of his official social media handle, where he shared a couple of delightful photos with Rani. In the images, Rani looked as graceful as ever, adorned in a beautiful traditional saree that accentuated her elegance. Karan complemented her style by wearing a sophisticated blue velvet jacket paired with sleek black pants, showcasing their strong friendship and shared fashion sense.
Excitement for Upcoming Crime Drama 'Mardaani 3'
During their conversation, Karan expressed immense excitement for Rani's forthcoming crime drama, 'Mardaani 3'. On one of the stills he posted, the text read, "With my dearest Rani!!! Celebrating her 30 years and hearing up for MARDAANI 3!!! A proud franchise of a solid star and artist!" This heartfelt message underscores the deep professional respect and personal bond between the two icons.
'Mardaani 3' is directed by Abhiraj Minawala and written by Aayush Gupta, who gained fame for his work on 'The Railway Men'. The film will see Rani return to the screen in her beloved avatar as the fierce and determined Shivani Shivaji Roy. Backed by Aditya Chopra under the prestigious banner of Yash Raj Films, this installment promises to delve even deeper into the dark and brutal realities of our society.
Following the first two parts of the franchise, which tackled sensitive and critical issues such as human trafficking and serial rapists, 'Mardaani 3' is expected to continue this tradition of hard-hitting storytelling. Fans can look forward to its release, as it is scheduled to hit cinema halls on January 30, adding another chapter to this impactful series.
Rani's Gratitude for Karan's Belief in Her Voice
In a revealing part of their chat, Rani expressed her profound gratitude to Karan for believing in her 'voice' at a time when others in the industry had rejected it. She fondly recalled an early moment in her career when they were shooting the teaser for their iconic romantic entertainer, 'Kuch Kuch Hota Hai'. During this time, Karan asked her if her voice was being dubbed in the film 'Ghulam'.
When Rani confirmed that it was, Karan made a pivotal decision by asking if she would be willing to dub for 'Kuch Kuch Hota Hai' in her own voice. "He told me, 'I love your voice, and you will dub for my film,'" Rani revealed, highlighting Karan's unwavering support. Despite facing pressure as a new filmmaker, Karan stood his ground, insisting on using Rani's natural voice.
Rani emphasized that this act of faith was transformative for her career. "Because of him, my voice became a part of my identity as an actor," she added, noting that without Karan's intervention, many of her films might not have featured her own voice. This story not only showcases Karan's visionary approach but also underscores the importance of authenticity in the arts.
As Rani Mukerji continues to inspire with her talent and resilience, this celebration of her 30-year journey serves as a testament to the power of friendship and belief in the film industry. With 'Mardaani 3' on the horizon, audiences eagerly await her next powerful performance.
