Rani Mukerji and Vidya Balan on the experience of shooting for " No One Killed Jessica" and what the film meant to them...

Since you both hadn't met Sabrina, was the acting more objective?
Vidya : Raj sat with Sabrina and got all the details, and also her perspective on what had happened and how. He shared that with me through the screenplay and that's what I based my character on. And I don't think it was a neutral stand. We all had been involved with this case - it has angered or even frustrated us at one point or the other.

And now that you've met Sabrina, what's it that you'd like to ask her or talk to her about?
Vidya: I just want to salute her, which I did. As a character, when I went through what I did shooting this, and even as a citizen when we saw it, it was unbelievable. This is a case we all sat up and took note of, saying, 'My God, this can't be happening. Not here.' But I don't have any questions to ask in person in that sense.

How much of the story is fiction?
Rani : This movie is not a docu-drama, but it's based on facts. For instance, my character, the journalist Meera, is an imaginary figure that Raj created as a mix of a lot of journos working on the case at that time. This role was very interesting and intriguing for me. Unfortunately or fortunately, the media is not portrayed very positively these days, but this is one case where the media played a very important role. It got the whole movement rolling. The film is based in fact, but it is the director's interpretation of the story and we'd like to say that it's a dramatic story.

Since the story is sensitive, was there any threat or insecurity while shooting in Delhi? There were rumours that people were antsy about the movie being made...
Rani: It's the first time that I'm doing a film based on a true incident. Normally, actors don't get into controversies and stuff like that. But the very fact that the Jessica case became a people's movement, and was more about that than anything else, ensured that there would be support from all corners and no one would like to stop a shoot like this because during this case, India came together. Usually, Indians come together during cricket or war, but during this case, they all came together. If injustice is done and people come together, nothing can be forced on us. That's why it's important and that's why that this story is told. This case brought all of us together as people. Somewhere down the line, I feel there's a force that has brought all of us together to be a part of this film.

Vidya : People asked me whether I expected any sort of pressure, or if people asked me not do the film. But honestly, we never had a situation like that. More importantly, no one would've dared to do such a thing. The episode is so ingrained in public memory that no one would've stopped it.

Such roles are usually counted as the toughest in any actor's career.
Rani: Every role that I've done in my career has meant something or the other to me, otherwise I wouldn't do it. I am very passionate about the films I do. I don't ever want to give my fans a chance to say, 'We've seen Rani do that before'.

Vidya: Every film means something very special, because I give it my all. For this case, all of us wanted to do something at that point. We were all involved in some way and that assumed special significance. We were shooting on the day the Supreme Court verdict came in Delhi. We were all overwhelmed. As a citizen and an actor, this is a very important film for all of us.

What note does the movie end on?
Vidya: The case is about hope, reassurance and even strengthening of faith in the law of the land, even though it took 11 years.

The experience of shooting for a film based on a real life incident was...?
Rani: The night schedules were traumatic. But, during the shooting, whenever Vidya looked at me, she started laughing.

Vidya : Rani would look at me and suck her thumb like I do in that scene with Arshad in "Ishqiya". There's a particular scene in "No One..." where I'm supposed to look at her and not let her in through the door, but she'd start sucking her thumb and instead I'd look at her feet. She's a mastikhor number one!

Divya Kapoor

It doesn't happen every day that four actresses arrive in the Capital on the same day though for different events. While Sonam Kapoor and Neha Dhupia couldn't stop gushing about their love for fashion at their respective brand promotion dos, Rani Mukerji and Vidya Balan discussed wedding plans at the press conference of their upcoming movie, No One Killed Jessica

'I'll get married but only after Rani'

They may not be the best of friends or, wait a second, may be they now are! Much was being talked about the cold vibes and "we-cannot-stand-each-other" feelings between Rani Mukerji and Vidya Balan, the two leading ladies of upcoming flick, No One Killed Jessica, surprised everyone by looking at one another for support when faced with tricky questions from the media. They whispered in each other's ears and even pulled each other's leg when faced with the much-asked question of their respective weddings.

On their characters

The film, directed by Rajkumar Gupta of Aamir fame, is based on the famous Jessica Lal case, the model who was shot dead in 1999 at a party in Delhi. It features Vidya Balan as Sabrina while Rani Mukerji plays a journalist who passionately follows the case. Both actresses denied meeting the main accused Manu Sharma or his family to get the hang of the characters.

Instead, they both drew their own characters based on the director's vision. "We never met Jessica's or the accused's family for the roles. Instead, we sat with Raj (Kumar) and created the characters with his interpretation," said Rani as Vidya nodded in agreement.

"In fact, Raj didn't want me to meet anyone for my character. I wanted to give my own reading to the character," she said.

Meeting Sabrina Lal

Since the film is based on a real life character, the unit thought it best to bring in Sabrina Lal, Jessica's sister, to answer queries related to her character. While Lal declared she has no problems with the commercialisation of her sister's life on screen, Vidya and Rani, both of who met Lal for the first time, said they look up to her for inspiration. "I'm falling short of words to say to Sabrina. From what I felt while portraying her character, I can only wonder what she must have felt as she went through the trauma in real life," said Vidya and this time, Rani agreed. "You inspire me Sabrina. I drew my strength from you every time you appeared on television," she said.

These cats never fight

"Won't you guys ask us if we had any catfights on the set?" exclaimed a much-jubilant Rani at a point when the atmosphere had taken a rather serious note with the questions on Jessica Lal verdict. "Oh! we pulled each other's hair all the time," Vidya joined in. "No actually, we were both the cats on the sets so there were no fights!" Rani laughed. Wedding bells? Not now!

When the conversation drew towards the much-asked "When are you getting married? question, Rani, at her wittiest best, answered sportingly, "Media has been trying to marry me off for four years now. But meri baarat definitely aayegi. After all, my first movie itself was Raja Ki Aayegi Baraat in 1997. How can I not get married?" she quipped.

Vidya, on the other hand, chose to be politically correct when asked the same question. "I don't have a raja yet in my life.. I think I will get married after you, Rani," she laughed. "But that may take a lot of years, dear!" Rani replied.

As Rani will be seen smoking in the movie, she hopes it doesn't land her into a controversy. "I have seen many reporters smoking and I think what I have portrayed happens in real life. However, if a controversy happens, I will put all the blame on Raj," she joked.

"Oh! by the way, I hope the scene looks okay. Since I'm a non-smoker, I'm not sure it looks real or not," she asked one of the journos on her way out.
