Finally it`s competition time for cousins Rani Mukherjee and Kajol. When Aditya Chopra thought of making When Harry Met Sally, in Hindi, he couldn`t think of any other actress but Kajol to play the lead opposite Shah Rukh Khan.
Meanwhile, Kajol tied the knot, took a long sabbatical from work and refused to get lured by the arc lights. A dejected Aditya then approached Rani for the role and got her nod for a start to finish schedule in 2003.Now that Kajol is back and has decided to do one good film a year she is back in the film. Poor Aditya is in a bit of fix since both the actresses are "dear friends". When Karan Johar got to know about Adi`s predicament, he had a bright solution: "Cast them together. They will be dynamite."
Sounds good. In her first film, KKHH, Rani was just a fresher and she did not have much of a role in K3G. But if all goes well and the two do act together, it`s going to be an "equal role for Rani" this time around. The film will sure be worth waiting for!
