Rani Mukerji has always had weight problems. She yo-yos being flabby and fab(by) depending on her work schedule. But for her upcoming film, the actress will be seen at her toned best.
In Kunal Kohli's next starring Rani-Saif, the actress is required to sport a lean look. Reveals a source close to the Bengali actress, "Rani tends to put on weight easily. She has a craving for sweets and loves to gorge on them. But in the past few months she has been extra careful about what she eats and has been following a rigorous workout schedule."

Apparently, Rani wasn't too happy with the way she looked in the second half in Laaga Chunari Mein Daag, "She wants to lose more weight and has been talking to close friends on what's the most effective diet plan or routine to follow."
Kohli's yet untitled project is based on the popular classic Mary Poppins and will have Rani wearing some figure hugging outfits that are fitted with wings. The source adds that Rani's look for the film has been worked out keeping in mind her lean look. "For Kunal's film, she will be looking extra lean."
When asked Kunal said, "I don't think an 'actress' needs to lose weight to give a good performance. I've never told any of the actresses who've worked with me (Kajol, Rani or Kareena) to lose weight. For me, the best shape my heroine can be in, is when she's totally into the character.
