Rani Mukerji is rather unhappy with friend and producer, Aditya Chopra.
Going by what happened a few days ago at Yash Raj studios, it seems that, for Aditya, work comes first. Apparently, the production unit of Anurag Sinha's yet-untitled film is scheduled to shoot in Amritsar and Chandigarh during the Durga Puja.
As a result, Rani's plans for the Durga Puja with her family have gone kaput. While her family will celebrate the Puja in town, she will be off shooting for Yash Raj's film.
What's more, it didn't help when Rani expressed her displeasure at the prospect of missing out on the Puja, to Adi.
Says a source close to the production unit of Yash Raj Films, “Recently, Rani and Aditya had an argument when Rani requested Adi to change the dates so she could be in town to attend the Puja. But Adi didn't budge and maintained that the schedule was a combination of dates of several actors and no alterations could be made.”
Adds the source, “Rani has no option but to pack her bags and set off for the shoot. She tried arguing with Adi to give her some time off, but in vain.”
Every year, Rani , her parents and brother Raja Mukerji, celebrate the Puja with great enthusiasm in Mumbai. Last year, in spite of having a hectic shooting schedule, she made sure that she took active part in the celebrations in the city.
This year the Puja is being planned on a more grand scale, and the venue may even be shifted to somewhere bigger.
However, our source says that Rani hasn’t given up yet. She will try her best to make it back to Mumbai at least for Ashtami (the most important day of the Puja), and return to work the next day.
