RANI MUKHERJEE
What was your reaction when you read the script for the first time?
I was very excited. My fans kept telling me that ‘Rani you are crying too much in your movies so please laugh and make us laugh too’. So, when Dil Bole Hadippa! came my way, I just grabbed it. It’s a very entertaining film with a lot of comedy. I have played the role of a boy who is a cricketer. No other actress has played such a role. It took me just a second to decide that I could pull off this role.
Did you do any research for the boy’s role?
It’s strange, but the whole boy act came very naturally to me. Anjali, a former cricket player who represented India during the World Cup, gave me six months’ training on how to play cricket.
Shahid’s first reaction after seeing you dressed as a male...
He couldn’t recognise me. He started saying, ‘where’s my heroine, please get my heroine...’
Are you working only for YashRaj Films?
That’s a bad rumour. We actors are like beggars. We simply wait for great roles. Hence, I request producers and directors not to believe such rumours. I am free now to work with anyone who comes with a great script and role.
SHAHID KAPOOR
Shahid is now eager to show off his lighter side in his first YashRaj film
What should one expect from you in Dil Bole Hadippa!?
Just the opposite of Kaminey. Dil Bole Hadippa! is an out-and-out entertainment flick; everyone will enjoy it. It shows the lighter side of me.
About your character Rohan...
There are two sides to Rohan. On one side he’s this really serious work-oriented person and on the other, he’s this fun character doing the hadippa and enjoying himself.
How was it working with Rani as a girl and as a Sikh boy?
I kept complaining to Rani that there is no heroine in the film as I had to continuously do scenes with this Veer character! Rani has portrayed Veer brilliantly and there are scenes between Veer and Rohan that are hilarious. Romancing Rani was also fabulous.
Did you help her in cricket?
She had actually rehearsed six months before the shoot. I was so impressed with her cricketing skills. Initially I was worried as she had a Sardar character to portray and also play professional cricket. But when I saw her, I realised why she is such a fabulous actor.
Any memorable incident?
There’s a scene when Veer enters the boys’ changing room. They are all semi-naked and get nervous in front of Rani. But Rani and me keep telling them: ‘C’mon, we’re one of you guys!’
