Rani Mukerji was spotted arriving in a red Mercedes at the launch of her brother Rajaa Mukerji’s new television serial Kissi Ki Nazar Na Lage.

The actress has been using a gold-coloured Merc for more than five years now. The buzz was that Rajaa had gifted her the red Merc. Says Rajaa, “Rani has bought it with her own money. I would love to gift her one. She traded in her earlier car for a better model.”

Pillar of strength

Raja feels Rani has been a pillar of strength through all his trials and tribulations. “In fact, the new promos that I have cut and which will be aired soon will have Rani giving bytes about the show. She has loved the episodes we have shot and that has boosted my confidence.

It’s a woman- centric serial and my second after Prratima. KKNNL is produced by my production company, JR Entertainers.” Will she be giving creative inputs too? “No. It’s difficult giving inputs every day as it’s a daily soap.”

The daily airs from May 5 on DD1 at 1 pm. Raja says, “It’s about an industrialist’s family which starts changing when the bahu of the house gets the property in her name. The cast includes Kashish Duggal, Komolika Guha Thakurta, Sanjeev Seth and Arup Pal.”

Second outing
Rajaa will direct his next Bengali film, Khokon, an action-romantic thriller. He says, “I will start in October. It has Dev from Tollywood and a new girl from Kolkata.” Rajaa’s earlier film was Bidhater Lekha.
