As soon as Nikkhil Advani read the script of Mrs Chatterjee vs Norway, he knew that the material held promise. His faith in the film was reaffirmed when Rani Mukerji agreed to play the central role. The actor, after all, is known to be choosy about her projects. More importantly, in the past decade, she has only featured in movies bankrolled by YRF Films, with Bombay Talkies (2013) being the sole exception.
So, did it take a lot of convincing to bring Mukerji on board? It took only a solid script, says the producer. “It was a Thursday [when I gave her the script], and she said that she would let me know on Monday. When I spoke to her on Monday, Rani said that she was ready to say a big yes on Friday itself. That’s the power of this script,” he beams.
