New Delhi: Rani Mukerji is all set to return to the big screen with Hichki, directed by Siddharth P Malhotra. On Tuesday, Yash Raj Films released an 18-second clip on social media, in which the 39-year-old actress can be seen writing on the blackboard - 'shoot starts today.' Rani Mukerji, last seen in Pradeep Sarkar's movie Mardaani (2014), will be making a comeback to the silver screen after a gap of three years. Hichki is likely to be released later this year. Rani Mukerji, who got married to filmmaker Aditya Chopra in 2014, took a break from work after giving birth to her daughter Adira in 2015.
In a statement released earlier, Rani Mukerji said: "I was looking for a script that would challenge and excite me, and Hichki came my way. Each of us has a weakness that pulls us back. It could be a disability or any condition but if we just look at it as simply a hiccup, we can emerge as a winner. It won't come in the way of achieving our dreams. Hichki is built on this positive premise and I decided to take it up."
Rani Mukerji made her Bollywood debut with 1997 movie Raja Ki Aayegi Baraat. She gained popularity with Karan Johar's film Kuch Kuch Hota Hai co-starring Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol. The film earned her the Filmfare Award for Best Supporting Actress. Rani Mukerji later featured in hit films like - Saathiya, Veer Zaara, Black, No One Killed Jessica, Talaash: The Answer Lies Within and Mardaani.
