Rani Mukerji praises audience’s taste for diverse cinema
Rani Mukerji discusses audience preferences in Bollywood, highlighting the success of women-centric films and her love for diverse storytelling.
Director Siddharth Malhotra, whose film Hichki received a standing ovation at the Shanghai International Film Festival (SIFF), says it was an honour.
Malhotra on Monday shared a few images of the film’s screening over social media, and captioned it: “What an honour and an overwhelming feeling when your work gets a standing ovation from a foreign audience who simply watches a film with subtitles and gets moved to tears/laughter.
“Thank you Shanghai SIFF 2018 at the festival for this experience, from the entire team of ‘Hichki’.”
