If you thought Shahid and Rani come together on screen for the first time in Yashraj films latest cricket bonanza Dil Bole Hadippa, think again. Shahid and Rani were seen for the first time together in a pepsi ad a few years ago. Shahid was a big fan of Rani Mukherjee then who had just started out on her career a little while before the ad came her way.
For Shahid, it was a dream role to play the lead opposite an actor he admired so much. He would even tease Rani on the sets of DBH that he was a fan of the lady actor. And, when on the fields, they would have a wholesome round of some good humoured prank playing and masti. Shahid recollects,
Before shooting bean for the film, Rani had been practicing cricket for five-six months. She was nervous that I may not know how to play cricket though I had claimed otherwise. She called me one day and insisted I leave everything I was doing and come to Juhu immediately.
I reached Juhu, and saw Rani, in cricket gear. She smiled and showed me her cricket prowess. She was playing really well. She asked me also to play. I did and she knew, I knew the game and told me, ‘Ab tu jaa’.
