Bengalis have a particular affection for their premier festival, Durga Puja. Bollywood star Rani Mukerji is no exception. No wonder she is unhappy with friend and producer Aditya Chopra.
At Yash Raj studios, for Aditya, work comes first. Apparently, the production unit of Anurag Sinha’s yet-untitled film is scheduled to shoot in Amritsar and Chandigarh during Durga Puja.
As a result, Rani’s plans for Durga Puja with her family had to be abandoned. While her family will celebrate the Puja in town, she will be off shooting for Yash Raj’s film.
What’s more, it didn’t help when Rani expressed her displeasure at the prospect of missing out on the Puja to Adi.
Says a source close to the production unit of Yash Raj Films, “Recently, Rani and Aditya had an argument when Rani requested Adi to change the dates so she could be in town to attend the Puja. But Adi didn’t budge and maintained that the schedule was a combination of dates of several actors and no alterations could be made.”
Adds the source, “Rani has no option but to pack her bags and set off for the shoot. She tried arguing with Adi to give her some time off, but in vain.”
Every year, Rani, her parents and brother Raja Mukerji, celebrate the Puja with great enthusiasm in Mumbai. Last year, in spite of having a hectic shooting schedule, she made sure that she took active part in the celebrations in the city.
This time is going to be different. Poor Rani.
