Rani in 'Bunty Aur Babli' |
Meet the Babli of 'Bunty Aur Babli'. Today, she is working with the best of banners. RANI MUKERJEE, arguably the No. 1 heroine today, in conversation with Vickey Lalwani.
Excerpts:
What is 'Bunty Aur Babli' all about?
Bunty and Babli are two avid dreamers. Together they team up as spiritual gurus, bureaucrat and secretary, gangster and moll, business partners, hen pecked husband and pregnant wife, lawyer and sexually harassed client, vagabonds, caught-in-a-downpour lovers and lots, lots more and they seem to be loving every minute of it. Their escapades play out against backdrops as varied as the Taj Mahal, the banks of the Ganges, the saffrons of Benaras, the browns of Kanpur and Lucknow, the whites of Mussoorie, the tinkling bells of Rishikesh and Hardwar, the skies of Delhi and all across the vein-like network of the Great Indian railways and highways.
What part does Amitabh Bachchan play?
Amit Uncle plays Dashrath Singh, the Deputy Commissioner of Police, Crime Branch. Currently he has exactly four passions, bidis, channa, Bunty and Babli. But getting his hands on Bunty and Babli proves to be the biggest challenge of his 30-year career. |
