Rani Mukerji to focus on positive message

Rani Mukerji will interact with people who have overcome social discrimination because of their weaknesses to become examples in their respective society. Rani will be on a tour to promote her forthcoming film, ‘Hichki’.

She will focus her efforts to take the film’s positive message of turning weaknesses into strength to audiences. As part of the film’s promotions, Rani will interact with real-life people who have overcome great difficulties like discrimination, prejudice, social stigmas, social estrangement to achieve success.

Rani says, “’Hichkis’, or challenges, are a part of everyone’s lives. It’s something that all of us have to deal with every single day. Prejudicial treatment, discrimination, social stigma that can arise because of our identities, our weaknesses can be very difficult to handle.

That people have battled these hichkis successfully, and achieved their goals, is inspiring for me and I want to bring out their stories for everyone to get as inspired. I think such stories should be heard and told, and celebrated. I hope to interact with some of such real heroes, and hopefully, bring attention to their incredible journeys.”

‘Hichki’ is a subtle reminder about discrimination that exists in our society. It highlights through the story of Naina, who faces discrimination from our society that believes she cannot be a teacher because of her disorder.

Rani plays the character of Naina Mathur who has a nervous system disorder, Tourette Syndrome that forces an individual to make involuntary repetitive movements or sounds. Directed by Siddharth P Malhotra and produced by Maneesh Sharma, the movie is set to touch the hearts of audiences when it releases on February 23.
