Here’s why Rani Mukerji feels its important to connect with people of all ages

Rani Mukerji will be back on the big screen after a gap of four years and the actress revealed that her aim is to tell stories that have a strong emotional connect and respond with people of all ages, “I think it is very important to be with the times. Your audience changes every 10 years. It is very important that your films are being watched by all ages and people should be able to relate and connect with you.”

“The only way to do that is to speak their language and be in their zone. As an actor, it is my duty to innovate. The day I stop doing that, I will lose my audience. It is important for me to select characters which challenge me as an actor and are interesting for my viewers to watch. Going forward, I want a mix bag of emotions because even in a romantic story you can come up with great characters. My intent is to bring about stories of hope. They should be positive, uplifting and relatable and they can be in any genre.”

Further talking about her films the actress said, “Somehow these kind of stories have always resonated with me because they come with extreme emotions. This film is about human spirit and the challenges that underprivileged children go through in society. The important message in our film is that there should be no discrimination when it comes to education or anywhere.”

Talking about ‘Hichki’ she said, “Manish Sharma when he was given the onus of producing the film, was of the opinion that the film will be more interesting with a female protagonist. But this film is sensitive enough and special enough that it need not have a gender bias. It could have been played by either of the genders.”

The film will hit the screens this Friday.
