Rani's wrong moves

They came, giggled, waxed eloquent about each other and posed chummily at the recent music release of Saawariya. Now was this for public consumption or have Rani Mukherji and editor-about-to-turn-director Bela Sehgal resolved to let bygones be bygones?
Be that as it may, the news is that Rani will not be in Bela's first film as a director. Why? This is how the story of kabhi dosti kabhi dushmani goes.

Over year ago, there was a fall-out between Rani and Sanjay Leela Bhansali. Reason: differences over the first film to be directed by Bela – Sanjay's sister.

After Black (2005), Rani who had by then worked in 32 films, became arrogantly picky about accepting projects. Clearly, she had chosen to become exclusive to the Yash Raj banner, courtesy good friend Aditya Chopra.

Career best
Even the sternest detractors cannot deny that her performance in Black is Rani's career best. Sanjay Leela Bhansali had done it again. After extracting bravura performances from the Barbie doll-like Aishwarya Rai in Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam and Devdas, he had upped Rani's market value as well as her equity with the critics.

Inevitably, the actress and the director were expected to team up again. It was a given that she would play a significant role in his magnum opus Bajirao Mastani whenever it took off.

Conjectures were that this was the result of Rani's differences with Bela. Bajirao Mastani is still nowhere on the cards but the director is expected to revive it soon.. unless he prioritises a remake of Satyajit Ray's classic Charulata.

Meanwhile, a momentary truce was achieved between Sanjay and Rani when she agreed to play a cameo in Saawariya.

Shooting music videos
Besides editing, Bela has made a series of music videos, the most prominent ones being those showcasing Adnan Sami, separately with Rani, Ameesha Patel and Bhumika Chawla.

At one point, there was talk that Aishwarya Rai would be in one of the Adnan music videos, but Rani was pencilled in.. courtesy her friendship with Bela and Sanjay .

The gifted Bela has been finalising her first project as a director for nearly three years now.

T-Series is expected to produce it. Almost a year ago, it had been announced that the project would feature Salman Khan with Rani Mukherji in the lead roles.. Since there can be many a slip 'twixt the cup and lip', Bela hadn't made any official announcements.

The plot thickened. When Bela narrated the script to Rani, the actress hemmed and hawed and suggested another story altogether.
