Rani to quit Bollywood? Not quite

Mumbai, Sep 5 (IANS) Contrary to reports suggesting that Rani Mukerji is quitting movies after 'Laga Chunri Mein Daag', the actress has already started working in Kunal Kohli's next production.

'Kunal Kohli's untitled venture brings the 'Hum Tum' pair of Saif Ali Khan and Rani together again. Rani has been shooting for the last two weeks and is totally immersed in the project. She has neither the time nor the inclination to get married or to issue periodical denials about lies that keep appearing in the tabloids about her,' said a source.

For Kohli's film, Saif will join Rani soon. 'I'm currently shooting for Yash Raj's 'Tashan'. Rani has already started shooting for Kunal's film. I will join them in November,' Saif told IANS.

Rani has two releases lined up this year.

In Pradeep Sarkar's 'Laga Chunri Mein Daag', she has one of the toughest author-backed roles as a Brahmin girl who compromises with her morals to support her family. She is also working in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's 'Sawariya' where she plays an old-fashioned golden-hearted prostitute.

According to Bhansali, Rani's role as the golden-hearted tart is so ebullient and enchanting that she is likely to prove the scene-stealer of the show.

As for marriage, Rani has no man in her life -- right now.
