Rani Mukerji will shoot a romantic film in Malaysia’s Kuala Terengganu state in May. Mentri Besar, chief minister of the state that is located 500 km northeast of the national capital, has said his government is “excited that a Bollywood production house has selected Kuala Terengganu as its shooting location”.
This could boost the state’s tourism industry, reported The Star newspaper Wednesday. Picturesque Kuala Terengganu is on the Terrengganu river and is surrounded by South China Sea from three sides. Besar said the state government will procure a glass bottom barge for tourists to get close views of sharks and other marine lives.
He also said he had met the producer of the movie and read the script. But he did not disclose the names of other actors.
“The production house will disclose the list of actors and actresses including other details at a press conference before the start of the shooting,” he said.
Indian films and their actors, both from Mumbai and from Chennai, are popular in Malaysia, which is home to nearly two million members of the Indian diaspora.

Rani Mukherji, whose acting career seems to be downing will shift to her old house at Yari Road from her current residence at Juhu bungalow. Rani shifted to Juhu house early last year and given her old house on rent. Rani feels that the Juhu bungalow is inauspicious for her as none of the film after her shift has done good business. So she plans to shift at old house at Kalyan Complex on Yari Road before the release of her upcoming film Dil Bole Haddipa. And for this Rani has given orders to the tenants of her Juhu flat to vacate the house and eventually the tenants have already vacated it.
One source revealed, “After shifting to Juhu, Rani had rented out the Kalyan Complex house to a family. However, a couple of weeks ago, the tenants were asked to vacate the house since Rani has decided not to take any more chances. She will soon be shifting back to her old house where she became a big star. The tenants have already vacated the flat and Rani will be shifting there once the release date of Dil Bole Haddipa is finalised.”

It seems that all is not going well for the Bengali beauty, Rani Mukerji. Not only has she been unable to deliver a hit at the BO, but it is believed that there is more trouble in her paradise.
According to reports, Rani has been ignoring beau Aditya Chopra (the scion of ‘Yash Raj Films’) since a long time and Adi is all perplexed as he is not aware of the reason. Apparently, she is miffed due to the fact that she granted the ‘man in her life’ (Adi) all the power to handle her career, which now seems to be heading nowhere. Insiders say, Mukerji babe is losing her cool as she’s not getting too many films and the ones that are coming her way are not great.
Looks like the lady has finally realised that she needs to look beyond YRF, Rani as of now has only one flick in her kitty and that too is a Yash Raj production. The starlet is also thought to be upset because in her opinion her previous films were not promoted the way they should have been and no wonder they bombed.
It is learnt that Mukerji is giving a cold shoulder to Adi (not even taking his calls) and concentrating on her career after putting her personal life at a back burner.
Hmmm… guess it is the right time for Adi to stop minting money and think of his lady love or else some other dilwala is going to take the dulhania away. Buck up Mr Chopra!

Abhishek Bachchan who had a fling with Rani Mukerji is now a happily married man. His gorgeous wife Aishwarya Rai tries to show the public that she is blessed with a lovable hubby and parent in laws.
In a recent interview with Rani Mukerji, she diplomatically disclosed that she was in love with Abhishek still. But latter on covered her statement by saying that she was in love with his work, his dedication and Blah Blah Blah…… With a series of love failures, one can easily make out that Rani may now out for hibernation.
She clarified that she was in good terms with her own parents and also brushed out the media rumors aside which disclosed that she will opt for a bachelor life from now on like Sushmita Sen.
She even reported that she will marry her dream man when she thinks that she has found out the right person.
The whole interview which will be aired on a prominent news channel soon will be more confusing than entertaining to the audience.
