Covering Bollywood and the Hindi Cinema

With Tara Rum Pum all set to release this Friday, its natural for the cast to give the mandatory sound bytes! Rani Mukherjee talked to the press briefly and dismisses rumors that there was tension between Saif and her!

“Saif and I are not friends, but we share great chemistry on the sets. If he’s stuck on a scene, he doesn’t hesitate to ask for my advice,” adding in good humour, “We’re very vain, we look at our performances and pat each other on he back!”

“I wish Saif well and I know he feels he same towards me. We’ve grown as actors. ‘Hum Tum’ was a breakthrough film for both of us; it bonded us and got me an award.”

Rani also briefly talked about Namesake:
“I don’t regret missing out on ‘The Namesake’, but I regret not working with Mira. I loved Jhumpa Lahiri’s novel and I love the film.  But I wasn’t convinced about playing the mother of a 25-year old guy.”

“Mira understood my point of view. I’m so fond of her; we meet up whenever I’m in New York. I’m sure we’ll work together. ‘The Namesake’ isn’t Mira’s last film, you know!” she ends
