And now that Rani Mukherjee's home is organised, she has signed another Yash Raj film, and that too with a new director. Confirms a source close to Rani, "Rani has been totally immersed in getting her house in order. Her dream house, done up by Sussanne Roshan (and not Twinkle Khanna as reported in a part of the media) had become her primary obsession and that's why she hasn't been signing any new films, not because she's getting married. As for the rumours of her impending marriage, she had laid down bets with her close friend that the date set down in the press - February 10, 2008 - will come and go and she'd remain single. Rani now dares anyone else to set another date. She'll win the bet again."

According to a family friend Rani is a close friend, not just of Adi but of the entire family. "Yashji and his wife are also very fond of her," says the family friend. With one more Yash Raj film Thoda Pyaar Thoda Magic on the anvil, Rani has just signed another Yash Raj film, the only film she has given the nod to in the past six months. Says our source, "In fact now that her home is completely done, Rani is ready to sign more films."

In spite of Tara Rum Pum and Laga Chunri Mein Daag not doing as well as expected last year, Rani Mukherjee continues to be a Yash Raj loyalist, and not for reasons that people seem to believe. According to people in the know there are no marriage plans between Rani and the Yash Raj scion, Aditya Chopra in the near future.

In spite of the recent setback, Yash Raj Films continues to sign new directors for big-budget projects. The latest recruit to the Yash Raj oeuvre is debutant Anurag Singh who will direct Rani Mukherjee. She's now embarking on another phase in her career and is all set to be directed by Anurag Singh for a film featuring Shahid Kapoor.

Singh has no other feature film to his credit. But he has produced two films - Hum To Mohabbat Karega and Jurm, and has done films as an associate director with Rakesh Roshan. He came into the Yash Raj fold as associate director on Dhoom 2 and was immediately recognised by Aditya Chopra as a talented movie maker.

Says a source, "Though some of Yash Raj films, directed by debutantes like Vijay Krishna Acharya (Tashan) and Anil Mehta (Aaja Nachle), have proved disastrous, Aditya Chopra continues to believe in new talent. He feels that for every Tashan gone wrong there will be a Chak De
India that goes right. Beginning with Anurag Singh, the banner is in the process of signing a number of new directors for big projects. And Rani continues to believe in Yash Raj. Not that she isn't open to outside offers, but Yash Raj remains her priority."
