‘Piya ka ghar hai yeh rani hoon main ghar ki…’ The pretty Lata Mangeshkar melody could very well define Rani Mukerji’s newly-found status at Yash Raj Films.
The new Bahu of the parivar is apparently taking her duties very seriously. Not only has Rani taken over the reins of the Chopra household, she is also a very pivotal part the family’s production empire.
One learns from a very reliable source close to the Chopras that Rani will soon direct a film.
Says the source, “If you visit the sets of Yash Raj’s Mardaani where Rani plays the lead, she already calls the shots there. You can almost say she is the official director Pradeep Sarkar’s main associate director on the sets. Rani instructs the actors, shouts out orders to the crew and looks after every detail.”
An actor from Mardaani laughs, “Rani is the boss. And she doesn’t hesitate in showing it.”
