Rani Mukherjee Desperately Needs a Hit

Rani Mukherjee has not had a very good year in 2007 and 2008 has started on a bad note too. She had four back to back flops and now she desperately needs a hit in order to keep up her position in Bollywood.In 2007, all the movies she starred in - flopped - Ta Ra Rum Pum, Laaga Chunri Mein Daag, and Saawariya. This year Thoda Pyar Thoda Magic flopped miserably too.

And because of her flop record last year, she is running short of good offers this year. Her popularity has gone down and that is why Titan decided they need another model.

Sanjay Bansali offered her a cameo in his forthcoming flick Chenab Gandhi, but after her cameo in Sawariya flopped she is shying away from cameos.

When Rani called Shahid ‘SIR’

Rani Mukherjee who is currently shooting with Shahid Kapoor for Yash Raj’s next flick had to take back her words when it finally got on Shahid’s nerves.

A source says, “It’s a known fact that Rani is older to Shahid by a few years.Rani was hell bent on not letting their age difference be visible not only on screen but off the screen as well.”
So Rani started addressing him as, ‘Shahid Sir’ every now and then. Initially Shahid found it amusing. Shahid however, could not hide his embarrassment as she would say that in front of the entire Yash Raj unit which is like a ‘home ground’ for her. But after a point it started grating on his nerves when every single person in the unit started aping Rani and addressing him as ‘Shahid Sir’. Last week when Rani’s Man Friday went up to him to give Rani’s message to join him for lunch during the shooting lunch break and ended up using the ‘Shahid Sir’ term as usual. An irritated Shahid shouted back at him for using it and the poor chap literally ran back to Rani. Shahid didn’t join Rani for lunch but the matter seemed to be over by the evening after Rani went and spoke to him after the shoot for the day got over.”



“Now they both are calling each other by their first names.” adds the source.
I wonder why Shahid didn’t call Rani- Rani Aunty, that would have done full justice to Rani’s age.
