Konkona Sen learns from Rani Mukherjee

Shooting with Rani Mukherjee for Pradeep Sarkar’s next movie, Konkona Sen Sharma admits to have learnt a few things from her co-star.

After leaving her mark in art-house productions, Konkona is now making a foray into Bollywood mainstream. She has been shooting for Sarkar’s film in Varanasi along with Rani, Jaya Bachchan and Anupam Kher .


On the very first day of shoot, Konkona and Rani were mobbed by fans in Varanasi. Having little experience in handling large crowds, Konkona was at loss. It was Rani who swung into action, held Konkona by hand and led her away from the frenzied mob.

On another occasion, while shooting for a song, Konkona says Rani was of tremendous help.

“We shot a song on the Ganga ghat. I was very nervous because it was my first masala song sequence. Rani was such a help,” Konkona is quoted as saying.

Not only did Rani help Konkona with the dance steps, she was also very patient with her.

While shooting the song, Konkona had to hold a wooden toy in her hand. Mistakenly, the toy slipped out of her hand and hit Rani’s nose. Rani did not throw any tantrum but simply laughed away the whole incident.
