Actress
Rani
Mukherjee,
who
is
playing
the
role
of
a
police
officer
in
her
next
film
Mardaani,
today
met
the
Mumbai
Police
Crime
Branch
chief
Himanshu
Roy
to
understand
the
nitty-gritty
of
an
officer's
job
profile,
body
language
and
lifestyle.
The
meeting
between
Rani
and
Joint
Police
Commissioner
(Crime)
Himanshu
Roy
lasted
for
nearly
an
hour
at
the
latter's
office
at
police
headquarters
in
south
Mumbai
this
evening.
"Rani
is
playing
the
role
of
a
crime
branch
officer
in
her
upcoming
film
Mardaani.
She
wants
to
understand
how
a
crime
branch
officer
functions,
ways
in
which
officer
probes
various
cases,
officer's
body
language
and
lifestyle
among
others
so
that
she
could
get
accustomed
to
the
officer's
conduct," Roy
said.
Rani
also
tried
to
dig
into
the
dangers
being
faced
by
an
officer
during
an
operation.
"She
sought
to
understand
the
work
schedules
of
an
officer
and
dangers
being
faced
during
a
police
operation,
etc.
She
was
very
keen
to
know
various
aspects
of
an
officer's
life,"
Roy
explained.
However,
the
35-year-old
actress
refused
to
speak
to
media
after
the
meeting.
Mardaani,
a
Yash
Raj
Films'
(YRF)
project
will
be
directed
by
Pradeep
Sarkar.
Sarkar
had
earlier
directed
Laga
Chunari
Mein
Daag
and
Lafangey
Parindey
for
YRF.
Rani's
last
outing
with
the
banner
was
Dil
Bole
Hadippa,
which
failed
to
create
magic
at
the
Box
Office.
The
shooting
of
the
film
is
likely
to
begin
soon.
