Rani Mukherjee is back again with her next release No One Killed Jessica. She is pairing up with actress Vidya Balan as the lead characters in the film. The film is directed by Rajkumar Gupta, critically acclaimed for his last film Aamir starring Rajeev Khandelwal.

No One Killed Jessica is a film based on the Jessica Lal case. Jessica Lal was an aspiring model in New Delhi and was well known as a celebrity bartender. She was shot dead on April 29, 1999 at a party. The murder within no time became the talk of the town. Mani Sharma, the son of a politician was convicted on December 2006, accused of Jessica’s murder.

Rani in the film portrays the character of a reporter who was covering the murder mystery. Vidya Balan portrays Jessica’s sister, Sabrina. The film’s released dates are not announced, but the film’s promo will be released in next few weeks.

Rani Mukherjee was last seen staring opposite Shahid Kapoor in the film Dil Bole Haddipa. The film was based on gender stereotypes, however, it failed to make a mark at the Box Office. Taking into consideration that Rani will be seen on the silver screen after a long time, lots of expectations have definitely risen. Hope her hard work for the film pays-off. Wishing all the luck to both Rani and Vidya for their film No One Killed Jessica.

Rani Mukherjee –Vidya Balan the keep ‘Mum’ Strategy

These days’ two actresses who are busy shooting for the film ‘Who Killed –Jessica’ are Rani Mukherjee and Vidya Balan.
But sadly, the two actresses are so miffed with each other that they are not talking to each other at all.
Reportedly, Rani Mukherjee, who is working without the YRF (Yash Raj Films) banner, is quite tensed with her shots. An insider revealed that she keeps on finding faults with her shots taken and asks for re-shots. Now, this is getting a fit too much for the unit members to handle and no one seems to be happy with her high handed attitude. Probably, Rani’s missing the tolerant Aditya Chopra’s attitude.
Anyways, it could be that the actress is just very keen to make this film an excellent one as she has been quite disappointing in her last flick ‘Dil Bole Haddipa’! Maybe it’s just the insecurity of having a younger actress in the same frame that is making Rani the very cautious actress to see herself as the best that is the problem creator.
But whatever be the problem, she and Vidya Balan have adapted a keep mum strategy on the sets and probably that saves the film makers from a lot of trouble! You know what we mean, don’t you?
