Shahid & Rani in Bela's next titled Charulata!

It was a story in a city tabloid that set tongues wagging about Rani Mukerji.

And it spoke about Sanjay Leela Bhansali and his sister Bela, being upset with the Queen Bee for not doing Bela's film with Shahid.

The story quoted anonymous sources, stating that Bela's film was also supposed to be called Hadippa. But alleged that Rani didn't do the film and then next thing the Bhansalis saw was that Rani's next film was titled Dil Bole Hadippa. When we spoke to the beautiful actress, she said she didn't want to "stoop to the level of these sources", but eventually went on to tell us exclusively; "I'm very uncomfortable answering this one. Simply because I don't do clarifications of stories in various papers. And, I'm extremely fond of Sanjay and Bela. What Bela wanted to do with me was Charulata with Shahid and another heroine, and I'm excited about that. But she wanted to make a quicker film with Adnan Sami.

So my film was put on the backburner. As for any title talk and casting issues, that's always a discussion between producers. Anyway, I had a nice laugh over this 'anonymous' source, because no amount of anonymity can strain what I share with SLB and Bela." And considering she's getting hip hip hurrays for her performance as Veer and the sexy Veera, Rani can afford to smile.
