New Delhi:
Rani Mukerji screened her new film Hichki for her Bollywood pals a week before it is scheduled to hit the screens. On Thursday, Madhuri Dixit, Sushmita Sen, Rekha, Karan Johar, Shilpa and Shamita Shetty among others attended a special screening of Hichki. Most of the crowd broke down after watching Rani's film, a statement from Yash Raj Films read. Hichki is based on Brad Cohen's book Front Of The Class and it narrates the story of Naina Mathur, an aspiring teacher with Tourette Syndrome. An overwhelmed Karan Johar congratulated team Hichki on Twitter: "Hichki takes you back to school and gives you life lessons in such a nuanced and beautiful way. Well done Siddharth (director Siddharth P Malhotra) for directing this film with such an assured hand and with such sensitivity! Must watch."
