Wednesday, 27th December 2017, 03:00 PM IST Rani Mukerji plays a school teacher in her upcoming film, ‘Hichki’. Rani, who is a perfectionist when it comes to getting into the skin of the character, has drawn inspiration from her real-life school teachers who impacted her life and thinking and shaped her up as a human being. A feel-good, uplifting and inspiring story, ‘Hichki’ is about the positive attitude of turning one’s weakness into a strength, and taking on challenges head on. When contacted, Rani confirms saying, “We had many inspiring teachers in my school (Maneckji Cooper, Juhu, Mumbai). Mrs. Vakil, our Geography teacher, used to teach us in such a crystal-clear manner, that we wouldn’t need to study once we went home. Mrs. Dadarkar, our History and Literature teacher was excellent. She would spend time with students, and teach us Julius Caesar in a manner that brought the story alive. She made us live a story like it was happening in front of our eyes.” She adds, “Our teachers were very friendly, informal and wouldn’t heap a lot of academic pressure on us. We had toppers, students who did well, like me, and students who would barely manage passing marks. But our teachers were never harsh on those who would fail or struggle to pass. I remember growing up in a manner where we were never forced to chase high academic scores all the time. We had fun studying. This realization of mine, I have tried to reflect in ‘Hichki’ through my character.” Directed by Siddharth P. Malhotra and produced by Maneesh Sharma, ‘Hichki’ will release across India on February 23, 2018.
