A source reveals, 'Rani plays the central lead in Siddharth's film. Like Mardaani, this one too will deal with a strong social issue. He narrated the script to Adi first and then Rani. They both loved it and Adi will produce the film. Siddharth, Adi and Rani have been meeting and working out the project regarding dates et al.'
It took some convincing to get Rani to act again, says the source. 'Since her baby Adira's birth, Rani has become a full-time, hands-on mother, completely immersed in caring for her child, but in December, Adira will be a year old and the actress will find time to work by then. It took time to convince her to act again, but Adi heard the script and felt it would be perfect for her, after Mardaani.'
Meanwhile Aditya Chopra is awaiting the release of his film Befikre which stars Ranveer Singh and Vani Kapoor in lead roles.
