Rani Mukherjee to be the onscreen partner of Prithviraj

Mar 19, Mumbai: Bong hottie Rani is all set to romance South Indian hotbod Prithviraj in Sachin Kundalkar’s untitled Hindi movie. Coincidentally, this would be Sachin’s debut movie in Bollywood. He is known mostly for his Marathi movies.

Prithviraj is the latest addition of South Indian heroes and heroines trying their hand in Bollywood, the last one being Asin. Prithviraj essayed the role of Ash’s husband in the Tamil “Raavan”. Rani, whose last released movie, was “No one killed Jessica” by Raj Kumar Gupta, co-starring Vidya Banal, in January 2011. The movie did moderately at the box office.

For the moment, Prithviraj is waiting for his movie “Urumi” to release in March of this year; on the 31st. Bollywood is most certainly awaiting this movie as they expect Prithviraj and Sachin to bring in freshness with their new film.

Rani has proved her mettle time and again with movies like “Ghulam”, “Black” and “Veer Zaara”. At one time, she was the numero uno amongst the actresses in Bollywood. Her close competitor was Preity Zinta. Now its left for Prithviraj to prove his worth in Bollywood, all the more because of his pairing with a powerhouse performer like Rani Mukerji.
