Rani Faces Stiff Opposition from Culture Czars in Banaras

  • IndiaGlitz, [Wednesday,November 15 2006]

The culture-vulture-brigade is at it again. A little known outfit Kranti Shiv Sena (KSS) burnt posters of actress Rani Mukherjee for disrupting the lives of devotees in Banaras. Incidentally Rani is currently shooting for Pradeep Sarkar’s yet untitled film being produced by Yahsraj Films in Banaras and her security guards had an altercation with a few photo journalists and teeming people on the sets of the film on Monday. The film also stars Konkana Sensharma.

Rani apologized to the press later but she also taught the media personnel that even the stars deserve some kind of breathing space. She also got irritated when constant questions were being asked about her marriage plans. It seems these small time culture outfits find an easy bait in successful actors for publicizing their own wares. Aamir Khan faced the wrath of a little known culture wing of a political party when his film ‘Fanaa’ was about to be released. And now, it’s the turn of Rani Mukherjee whose posters are being burnt and effigies paraded on a death bed.

Rani had earlier shot for ‘Bunty Aur Babli’ in Banaras. IndiaGlitz will keep you updated about the future developments in this story.
