Actor Rani Mukerji has announced the title and some of the details of her next project on the occasion of her birthday on 21 March. Mukerji, who was last seen in the film Mardaani 2 in 2019, will be next seen in a film titled Mrs Chatterjee vs Norway, produced by Zee Studios and Emmay Entertainment. Mrs Chatterjee vs Norway will be directed by Ashima Chibber.
Though the exact plot details are yet to be revealed, a statement mentions that the film is inspired by a true story about a journey of a mother’s battle against an entire country. This indicates that Mrs Chatterjee vs Norway could be based on the controversial 2011 incident of an Indian couple whose children were taken away from them by Norwegian welfare services.
Speaking about the film Mukerji said that in her 25th year in the film industry, which began with Raja Ki Aayegi Baraat, she has possible signed one of the most special and significant films of her career.
“I started my career with Raja Ki Aayegi Baraat, which was a woman-centric film, and coincidentally in my 25th year, I’m announcing a film that is also centered around a woman’s resolve to fight against all odds and take on a country. Mrs. Chatterjee vs Norway is a story of true human resilience and it is a film that is dedicated to all the mothers out there.”Rani Mukerji, Actor
Ashim Chibber made her debut as a filmmaker with Mere Dad Ki Maruti in 2013 and has also helmed several TV and web shows. After a brief four year hiatus from films in 2014 after the release of Mardaani, Mukerji returned to grace the big screen with Hichki in 2018.
