NO ONE KILLED JESSICA
Rani Mukherji is to play the character of Meera, a reporter who fights out the system to get justice for a girl who was killed by the son of an eminent personality. And to do full justice to the character, she takes up a smoking, though she is a non-smoker and easily slips into using highly abusive language. According to the makers of this movie, Rani’s character of a reporter is highly strong, independent and bold and to show the reality and gravity of the life of the reporters and the case, she was told to hurl abuses and smoke.
“(Director) Rajkumar Gupta wanted me to give the impression of a strong journalist and to represent media as it is. I have seen a few female reporters smoke. I am just playing you all…so you can’t put me in trouble for this,” Rani, a non-smoker, told reporters here Thursday.
The movie, No One Killed Jessica is based on the real life ordeal of her sister Sabrina, played by Vidya Balan. Jessica Lal was killed by Manu Sharma, the son of a Haryana politician. And it was a real difficulty to make the witnesses speak against him. The movie shows the trajectory of the lawyer and her sister Sabrina and their fight with the political system while fighting for justice.
Rani says that she really did not need to do any sort of research or homework to slip into this character as she has seen enough of reporters and know them well enough and thus, made her work easier and simpler.
The trailer of the movie is quite impressive, where we see Rani smoking without any inhibitions and easily abusing men. She is daredevil and sporty. The sleek look is also going perfect with her character.
“Thanks to my career, I have met a lot of reporters and anchors. So I didn’t have to meet any one specific for my characterisation in the film. Rajkumar just wanted me to use my experience with journalists to be like them in the film,”she said.
Furthermore, Gupta confirms that the abuses are quite an imperative part of the movie and has been done aesthetically and its not any other type of sensationalism.
‘The abuses have been used to define attitude and not in a derogatory sense. These days abuses are a part and parcel of conversational language and we didn’t feel that there was any harm in using them,’ said Gupta.
The makers of the movie are keeping their fingers and hoping that the censor would pass the movie without putting beeps in the dialogues. The movie releases next year on January7.
