Rani Mukerji’s body of work makes her one of the most loved actors of our generation. One of her biggest blockbusters Veer-Zaara completes 15 years of its release and we caught up with the iconic actress to share some unknown anecdotes from the film.
Rani reveals, “There are 2 very distinct things that come to my mind when I think of Veer-Zaara. First, of course, will be working with the legendary Yash Chopra. Just to shoot with him was an experience by itself because when you shoot with a master like him you realize how great he is. His greatness was that he would never see the monitor! He was always behind the cameraman watching us and okaying the shots which was very new for me because the directors who I had worked with, used to be just very close to the monitor because that became the new age thing to do.”
She adds, “But when I shot with Yash uncle, I realised that how they (such iconic filmmakers) must be actually taking out work from actors because they were constantly looking at us standing next to the camera, calling for the shots. That was something really, incredibly special. He was the only director who wanted to feed us all the time to make sure we were happy and laughing!” Rani had teamed up again with Shah Rukh Khan in Veer-Zaara. They had previously given us some timeless classic romantic films. However, this time they were not a couple romancing on screen.
