Rani
Mukerji-starrer
"Hichki" will
be
screened
at
the
day
one
of
the
Shanghai
Film
Festival,
starting
June
16.
The
movie
will
be
shown
as
part
of
The
Belt
and
Road
Week
in
China,
according
to
a
press
release
by
production
banner,
Yash
Raj
Films.
Directed
by
Siddharth
P
Malhotra,
"Hichki" features
Mukerji
as
an
inspiring
and
self-motivated
schoolteacher
named
Naina
Mathur
who
suffers
from
Tourette
syndrome.
Malhotra
said
it
is
a
"huge
honour
and
a
big
opportunity"
for
the
team.
"I
am
absolutely
looking
forward
to
presenting
'Hichki' at
The
Belt
and
Road
Film
Week
at
Shanghai
International
Film
Festival...
I
am
very
grateful
that
they
have
included
our
film.
I
am
also
thrilled
and
touched
at
the
love
and
applause
'Hichki'
has
brought
us.
Rani
and
the
kids
take
most
of
the
credit
for
its
victory
on
screen,
and
I
think
'Hichki'
will
take
her
to
a
whole
new
global
audience,"
the
filmmaker
said.
The
film,
based
Brad
Cohen's
autobiography
"Front
of
the
Class
:
How
Tourette
Syndrome
Made
Me
theTeacher
I
Never
Had",
released
on
March
23.
On
a
related
note,
while
promoting
Hichki,
when
Rani
Mukerji
was
asked
how
she
sees
herself
after
Hichki,
she
had
told
a
leading
daily,
"I
am
really
geared
to
do
more
films.
I
am
in
my
best
phase
of
life
right
now
where
I
am
so
happy
because
of
my
daughter.
Today,
when
Adira
says,
'Oye
Hichki',
my
heart
melts."
"I
never
imagined
that
I
get
to
hear
this
one
day.
When
you
are
single,
you
always
think
that
marriage
will
happen
but
it
is
never
a
reality,
it
is
always
a
future
and
when
that
future
had
already
happened,
my
marriage
happened,
I
have
a
child
and
now
my
child
is
singing
my
song,
it's
a
weird
feeling.
When
my
parents
used
to
appreciate
me,
I
was
like
okay
but
a
child
is
a
child.
When
I
see
her
getting
excited
to
see
me
on
screen,
it's
a
great
feeling."
