When talking about her favourite actresses, Zeenat Aman in one of her recent interviews said, “Rani was my favourite and now I am fond of Kareena and Katrina.” No doubt Rani will remain as one of the finest actresses Bollywood has ever produced but as Zeenat said is Rani slowly taking a back seat and letting the younger actresses come to the forefront? Is the queen of Bollywood losing her crown and numero uno position and needs some magic, rather magical films in her kitty to retain her position?Having ruled the roost for the past few years by giving hits like Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, Saathiya, Chalte Chalte, Yuva, Hum Tum, Veer Zaara, Black and Bunty Aur Babli, Rani’s films in the recent past have comparatively failed to rake in the moolah at the box-office inspite of her packing in some stupendous performances.
Rani’s attempt at playing versatile roles post Black however didn’t get fructified. Paheli, Mangal Pandey - The Rising, Baabul, Ta Ra Rum Pum, Laaga Chunari Mein Daag all failed to give Rani the feedback she had expected. The films did mediocre business, thus shaking Rani from her number one spot.
In spite of her affiliation with India’s number one production house - The Yash Raj banner, Rani is striving hard to retain her position. “Rani hasn’t worked with other banners for quite some time and is looking forward to doing so, as she wants to try out different things right now. She also wants to try and work with different co-stars. She has always worked with Abhishek and Shah Rukh and now wants to do something different” said our source who is close to Rani.
With Thoda Pyaar Thoda Magic all set to release, we hope it casts a magic spell on Rani’s ongoing stagnant performance at the BO and elevate her back to the spot where she belongs...
