Reason behind Rani Mukherjee’s fallout with Bhansali
Gupshup
oi-Staff
Sanjay
Leela
Bhansali
and
one
of
his
favourite
muses,
Rani
Mukherjee,
have
had
a
fallout
and
have
completely
stopped
communicating
with
each
other.
And
it
all
happened
because
of
her
last
release
Dil
Bole
Hadippa.
Rani
(who
earned
accolades
for
her
role
in
Bhansali's
Black)
has
always
been
like
an
extended
family
member
at
the
Bhansali
home.
Not
only
was
she
close
to
Sanjay
but
also
his
mom
and
his
sister
Bela
Sehgal.
So
when
Bela
decided
to
direct
a
film,
it
was
certain
that
the
actress
would
feature
in
it.
Says
a
source,
"Soon
after
she
came
on
board,
they
had
differences.
The
main
one
being
Bela
wanting
to
cast
Shahid
Kapoor
opposite
her.
The
actress
shot
it
down
because
she
felt
he
looked
much
younger
than
her.
Things
soured
when,
shortly
after,
Rani
went
on
to
sign
Dil
Bole
Hadippa
with
Yash
Raj
Films'
with
Shahid
Kapoor!"
Yet,
Bela
and
Bhansali
decided
to
give
Rani
another
chance
as
they
felt
she
must've
had
her
reasons.
The
source
continues,
"The
last
straw
came
when
Bela
and
Bhansali
saw
that
the
Rani-Shahid
film
had
the
title
of
Hadippa.
Rani
was
part
of
many
discussions
on
the
film
and
she
was
aware
that
Bela's
heart
was
set
on
that
title,
which
was
also
registered
in
her
name."
The
Bhansali
siblings
felt
that
Rani
had
deliberately
suggested
that
title
to
YRF.
When
Sanjay
confronted
the
actress,
she
cried
and
pleaded
ignorance
but
the
damage
was
done.
As
Bhansali
refused
to
give
up
the
title
of
Hadippa;
YRF
put
Dil
Bole
in
front
of
Hadippa
as
a
token
gesture.
A
source
close
to
the
director
says,
"Both
brother
and
sister
feel
very
let
down
by
Rani.
Things
are
not
the
same
between
the
actress
and
them.
Time
will
heal
wounds
and
maybe
Sanjay
will
work
with
Rani
in
the
future.
But
right
now,
the
wounds
are
still
fresh
and
they
need
to
heal."
