Bollywood actress Rani Mukerji is all set to feature in her upcoming film 'Hichki'. As the actress enters a new decade of her life, she said that she hopes to keep making more films while also bringing up her two-year-old daughter Adira. "I want to treat my 40 as my 20. And I want to do a lot of work... More and more movies. I want to enjoy bringing up Adira. It is going to be the most important years of her life, so I think it's going to be a really really nice decade," she said to a leading agency.

When asked why she chose to make a comeback with 'Hichki', she said, "Because for me, the story is that connect... Stories that are human, which have a strong emotional connect or the stories that connect with me or resonate with me as a person. I give more precedence to that." She added, "For me, it is important that the audience connects with the story or storyline, and when they connect with it, they connect with me and the character as well."

Talking about doing more films, the actress said, "I was so consumed with motherhood that I thought I might just say 'Hichki' and that's it. But I think I was born to be an actor and it is just something I love doing." When asked if there a sense of change in the kind of scripts she wants to pursue now, she said, "Not really, because I have always looked for special roles and special scripts that bring a change in my life emotionally. It will continue to be so because I have always connected to stories which have a deep and strong emotional connect and I think I will always be connected to those kind of scripts." Stay tuned for more updates.
