Rani
Mukerji
Reveals
Her
Favourite
Song
From
Yuva
The
actress
shared,
"One
of
my
favourite
songs
from
the
film
is
'Kabhi
Neem
Neem,
Kabhi
Shahad
Shahad'
and
it's
still
one
of
my
favourite
songs
till
date!
Just
the
way
Madhushree
sang
it,
just
the
way
A.R.
Rahman
composed
it
and
of
course
the
way
Brinda
the
choreographer
and
Mani
Ratnam
sir
picturised
the
song
and
Ravi
K
shot
it,
was
just
magical."
Recalling
how
Shammi
Kapoor
was
all
praise
for
her,
Rani
said,
"I
distinctly
remember,
one
of
my
all-time
favourite
actors,
Shammiji
calling
me
and
telling
me
about
the
Kabhi
Neem
Neem
song!
He
told
me
how
much
he
loved
my
performance
especially
the
part
where
I
am
sitting
on
the
chair
and
I
am
reacting
to
Abhishek's
dance."
She
added,
"I
was
very
close
to
him
and
I
have
always
been
a
huge
fan
of
his
work,
especially
his
songs,
and
hence
for
him
to
call
me
and
compliment
me
for
the
song
was
even
more
special
and
meant
a
lot
to
me!"
Rani
Mukerji
On
Working
With
Mani
Ratnam
For
The
First
Time
She
said,
"I
have
very
fond
memories
as
it
was
my
first
film
under
the
direction
of
Mani
sir.
It
was
an
absolute
pleasure
to
work
with
him.
His
way
of
interacting
with
actors,
I
thought
was
really,
really
unique.
I
think
working
with
a
director
like
Mani
Sir
has
helped
me
better
my
skills."
"Why
it
was
so
fascinating
was
because
he
used
to
direct
actors
with
one
sentence
-
he
always
said
‘please
don't
act'.
So
I
think
that
was
something
that
stayed
with
me
even
till
today.
The
fact
that
Mani
sir
manages
to
get
natural
performances
from
his
actors
is
because
he
works
towards
making
the
actors
believe
that
they
are
those
characters
and
I
think
that's
something
really,
really
wonderful,"
added
the
actress.
Rani
Mukerji
Opens
Up
About
Her
Shooting
Experience
In
Kolkata
"I
think
of
my
memories
of
shooting
in
Calcutta
(now
called
Kolkata),
and
it
was
very
special!
Loved
shooting
in
Kolkata
as
it
feels
like
home
being
in
the
city
of
joy..
from
the
food
to
have
my
grandma's
house
there..
it
felt
so
much
like
home,"
said
Rani.
She
further
revealed
that
the
portions
showing
the
interiors
of
her
Kolkata
house
were
shot
in
Chennai,
and
added,
"I
remember
eating
all
the
south
Indian
delicacies
during
the
shoot
of
Yuva
which
was
amazing!"

Yuva
as
well

"The
common
link
between
both
Yuva
and
Hum
Tum
was
that
particular
year,
I
won
awards

both
these
films!
It

the
critics
