Movie profile: Rani MukherjiFlying High 
After two mighty flops in the form of Saawariya and Laaga Chunari Mein Daag, Rani Mukherji is back with Thoda Pyaar Thoda magic. The Queen Bee is not fazed. This time round, she says, she will win the hearts of filmgoers. Especially because she plays an angel in her latest. Rani is excited about the film and hopes that her first release this year will be a hit. Nervous? Not she. Rather, she is looking forward to her film's release. She loved working in the film since she was playing a role she had never played before. Playing an angel was wonderful, she enthuses. This was yet another opportunity to play a new role and she did not hesitate to accept the role. None of her contemporaries have played a full-fledged angel in a film, she says a tad proudly. The script and the banner played an important part when she decided to do the film.
 Working with director Kunal Kohli and hero Saif Ali Khan was a breeze considering they had worked before in Hum Tum and Tara Rum Pum. They are all professionals and working as a team proved to be easy. Kunal gave Rani the creative freedom to improvise and she is grateful for that. She is also a good friend of actor Saif Ali Khan and they have observed each other grow as actors.

Rani Mukherji is once again giving guarded
interviews to promote her forthcoming film Thoda Pyaar Thoda
Magic. Will her film work magic at the box office this time?
She adds that playing an angel actually had its own drawbacks.
Considering that the character was entirely fictional, she had to
use her imagination and improvise as the film progressed.
Apparently, the role involved a lot of stunts which Rani relished
doing. It was fun, considering that she was doing all the stunts
for a change. Usually, the hero does the honors. This time round,
the stuntmen worked with her rather than with hero Saif, she
grins. On the other hand, she had to be happy all the time since
she plays an angel who has come to spread love. She actually
found it difficult to smile and be sunny all the time, she
rues.
While Rani enjoyed flying high as an angel,
she is flying high in real life too. Rumors about her impending
marriage to producer-director Aditya Chopra have been doing the
rounds. Incidentally, this film has been produced and distributed
by Aditya Chopra under the Yash Raj banner. The filmy press
insists that as soon as Chopra's divorce is final, the lovebirds
will get married. All of Rani's best roles have been with Yash
Raj including Black and Veer Zaara. Her next role is that of a
female cricketer - again a Yash Raj film. However, Rani insists
her choice is based on the roles she gets and her lips are sealed
when it comes to talking about her personal life. Like any good
Indian actress, she is not about to let the cat out of the bag.
Still, the glow on her face speaks for itself.
