Karan Johar and Rani Mukerji sat down on Friday afternoon to talk about Mrs. Chatterjee Vs Norway. The film, which marks Rani’s first movie in years outside the Yash Raj Films camp, tells the true tale of Sagarika Chatterjee whose kids were taken away from her by the Norwegian Child Welfare Services. During the chat, Karan recalled signing Rani for his first film, Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, and watching her evolve as an actress. He also spoke about watching Mrs. Chatterjee Vs Norway and crying after it ended.
Though Rani started her journey in the film industry before KKHH but I would like to emotionally believe that KKHH is her first film. That’s why when Nikkhil, Rani,adhu and Monisha made this film, they showed it to me first. I couldn’t stop my tears while watching the film because the film connects to you like no other whether you are a parent or not. This film has moved me like no film has in the recent times,” the filmmaker added.
