Rani Mukerji on 16 years of Yuva: ‘Shammi Kapoor loving my act in film was a big compliment’ - bollywood

https://www.liveindiatimes.com/rani-mukerji-on-16-years-of-yuva-shammi-kapoor-loving-my-act-in-film-was-a-big-compliment-bollywood/

Mani Ratnam’s political thriller Yuva was released 16 years ago on this day, and the film has, over the years, attained a cult status of sorts despite not managing to set the box office afire on release. Among the most feted aspects of the film were the performances of Abhishek Bachchan and Rani Mukerji. On Friday, looking back at the film, Rani was sentimental about all the praise that came her way following the role, particularly from the late Shammi Kapoor.

The iconic dancing superstar Kapoor, recalled Rani, was particularly impressed by her performance in the song Kabhi neem neem, and has called her up to congratulate her.

“One of my favourite songs in the film is ‘Kabhi neem neem, kabhi shahad shahad’. It is one of my favourite songs till date! The way Madhushree sang it, the way AR Rahman composed it and of course the way Brinda the choreographer and Mani Ratnam sir picturised the song, and Ravi K shot it — it was just magical,” Rani said.

“I distinctly remember, one of my all-time favourite actors, Shammi (Kapoor)ji calling me about the ‘Kabhi neem neem’ song! He told me how much he loved my performance — especially the part where I am sitting on a chair and reacting to Abhishek’s dance,” she added.

Rani shared she was very close to Shammi Kapoor. “I was very close to him and I have always been a huge fan of his work, especially his songs. Hence, for him to call me and compliment me for the song was even more special and meant a lot to me!”

In the 2004 film, Rani played the role of the vulnerable yet feisty Shashi. The film also stars Ajay Devgn, Abhishek Bachchan, Vivek Oberoi, Kareena Kapoor and Esha Deol.

Rani also talked about Ratnam’s unique style of directing. “I have very fond memories as it was my first film under the direction of Mani sir. It was an absolute pleasure to work with him. His way of interacting with actors, I thought, was really unique. I think working with a director like Mani Sir helped better my skills,” she said.

“What was fascinating was he used to direct actors in one sentence. He always said, ‘please don’t act’. So, I think that was something that has stayed with me till today,” she said.

The Mardaani 2 actor says the fact that “Mani sir manages to get natural performances out of his actors is because he works towards making the actors believe that they are those characters, and I think that’s really, really wonderful”.

For the Bengali actor, shooting in Kolkata was obviously special. “I think of my memories of shooting in Calcutta and it was very special! Loved shooting in Kolkata as it feels like home being in the City of Joy. From the food to my grandma’s house in the city — it felt so much like home,” she recalled.

She shared an anecdote from the location shoot while shooting in Chennai. “I remember eating all the south Indian delicacies during the shoot of Yuva which was amazing!” she recalled.
