Rani Mukerji will be re-appearing on screen as a cricketer in Aditya Chopra’s next venture about cricket aptly named Cricket. Nice and to the point.
The petite and plump actress has been losing out to younger actresses as she has put on a lot of weight. So she is working extra hard to get rid of all that extra baggage.
Her last movie Thoda Pyaar Thoda Magic with Saif Ali Khan was a dismal flop and apart from that she had only a special appearance in the hit Rab Ne Bana Di Kya Jodi.
Cricket saw Bollywood lining up in full force as IPL kicked off last year.
Shah Rukh Khan along with Juhi Chawla and her husband Jai Mehta took over the Kolkata Knight Riders which was the most profitable team if not the winner. On board were Sourav Ganguly, Ricky Ponting and Shoaib Akhtar.
The team colours were gold and black, the theme Korbo, Lorbo, Jeetbo Re, with SRK even releasing a video.
With the next season set to take off, Shah Rukh Khan is building up the interest with a talent hunt for cheerleaders called Knights & Angels anchored by Purab. On the judge panel are his co-star from Rab Ne Bana Di Kya Jodi Anushka Sharma and Darr co-star Juhi Chawla, with Shiamak Davar choreographing the cheers. It is produced by Red Chillies Entertainment and aired on NDTV Imagine.
