Rani Mukherji just made an interesting revelation about her Hey Ram co-star Kamal Haasan. Rani attended the Melbourne Film Festival as a chief guest and also won an award for best actress for her film Hichki and also for Excellence in Cinema awards as well. Rani spoke about her acting career in detail at the event. She did not miss an opportunity to share an incident of how Kamal Haasan inspired her.
She spoke highly of him and recalled an incident where she was made comfortable in her own skin. Pinkvilla quoted her saying, “For me, Hey Ram was a turning point. I went to the set and Kamal Haasan told me to wash off my make-up. So, I went back to my room, dabbed my face and came back. Kamal sir asked me to go back again and actually wash my face. I then removed all my makeup and for the first time, I felt confident. Back then, heroines were expected to put a lot of makeup and that was the norm. But he changed me. I think an artist should be able to forget about their looks, hair and weight. Rather the focus should be on their act on screen. That’s when you truly evolve.”
On the work front, Rani was last seen in Hichki and Kamal Haasan acted in Vishwaroopam 2.
