Bollywood star Rani Mukherjee is all set to portray another challenging role in ‘Yashraj Films Laaga Chunari Mein Daag'.

Looks like Rani has taken the portrayal of bitter reality in films very seriously. From playing glamorous roles in the likes of ‘Kuch Kuch Hota Hai', ‘Har Dil Jo Pyar Karega' and ‘Hum Tum', Rani sure has come a long way.

Rani portrayed challenging roles in ‘Yuva', ‘Black' and ‘Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehn'a among others. But what stands out in the nature of roles Rani is doing now at the apparent peak of her career is her current choice of a playing prostitute in a couple of upcoming prominent films.

Rani had played the role of Heera in ‘Mangal Pandey - The Rising' where she was a ‘tawaayaf'. Now, the latest buzz is that Rani is playing middle class girl who takes on to prostitution in ‘Laaga Chunari Mein Daag'. The film is directed by Pradeep Sarkar. Apparently, Rani will also be seen playing a prostitute by name Gulab in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's ‘Saanvariya'.

It is now to be seen if Rani will be able to pull such hard-hitting roles with ease and amaze the audiences.
