Rani Mukerji cancels shoot with Karan Johar and Rohit Shetty due to ill health

On Monday Rani Mukerji was promoting her next ‘Hichki’ on Karan Johar and Rohit Shetty’s reality-based talent show had to leave the shoot abruptly which took everyone off-guard because she left the set before the cameras could even start rolling. The actress reportedly reached the sets on time and was also ready for the guest turn after getting ready as well, but later her manager reported that the actress was suffering from a severe backache and fever. Hence the shoot was called off after she had to leave to due to her illness. The team is still trying to reschedule her appearance.


The source said, "Initially, Rani had given the time slot of 11am-2pm but it was changed to 3pm-7pm on Sunday. Everyone rescheduled their plans to accommodate her. She arrived on the sets as planned but was in her vanity van till about 4 pm. Karan went to check on her and they chatted for half an hour, after which Rani's manager informed the show's team that she wouldn't be able to shoot. The team is trying to reschedule her appearance since the celebrity guest spot now lays vacant for the episode."


The source further added, "She was slated to perform on a medley of songs from Karan's films, including her own number ‘Shava Shava’ from ‘Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham’ and a song from ‘Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna’. She was also supposed to share her story as a newcomer in the industry with the contestants.”


Rani Mukerji's comeback film 'Hichki' is slated to release on 23rd February.
