Bollywood actress Rani Mukherji, who essays a sport-loving Sikh character in her upcoming release ’Dil Bole Hadippa’ says she feels challenged when critics write her off.
"I feel challenged when detractors push me to an edge. When critics crush me, I bounce back," Rani, who has undergone a complete makeover for the film said.
’Dil Bole Hadippa’ is not a ’make or break’ film of my career. Success and failure is not in my hands. I just want to enjoy my work as an actor," Rani who is paired opposite Shahid Kapur for the first time in the movie, said.
Rani said she started work for ’Hadippa’ immediately after her last release Thoda Pyar Thoda Magic last year.
The actress said that since she was playing the role of an athlete, she decided to be completely fit.
"It was a demanding film because I was playing a boy as well as a cricketer. I underwent six months of training right from learning how to hold a bat. I have given my heart and soul to the film," Rani, who plays Veera as well as Veer, a Sikh boy, said.
"I trained in Yoga, cardio, weight training which helped my skin to glow and my diet included oats, brown rice and jowar roti. I have lost 7 kg and am feeling good and physically fit. Now, I can pull off an action film," she said.
Speaking about the movie, she said, "Its a vibrant and happy film. I have ensured that my Sikh character is not a caricature."
