Get ready to witness some ‘Rakhi drama‘, Technicolor, dolby, big screen and all. The dramatic trauma queen or was that traumatic drama queen, has been signed by Yash Raj to play her almost too real, real life role- that of a nautankiwali. Art imitating life or life imitating art or just a really bad joke on the audience? Regardless, its time for a double whammy celebration bash, as this film marks the entry of Rakhi into the Yash Raj camp! And Rakhi would be sharing screen space with Shahid Kapoor and Rani Mukerji, no less. b
which one of her avatars is scarier? Happy-Rakhi will jump your bones, sad-Rakhi will mud-sling till the cows come home and leave again because of all her screaming and miffed Rakhi will slap people in public, give more interviews than Mahesh Bhatt and bring up the ‘I‘m being mistreated because I don‘t have a filmy God-father‘ spiel till we all know it verbatim. Anyhow, this upcoming, yet untitled venture will be directed by Anurag Singh who earlier assisted Sanjay Gadhvi in ‘Dhoom: 2‘. The source says, "Rakhi will be playing the character of a dancer from ‘Bhand Samaj‘ who does nautanki on the streets and entertains people. She will also be dancing in marriages and her character in the movie is a really important role. She gets a lot of space in the second half of the film. Rakhi bagged this role because of her dancing skills and because the role required a girl like her." A girl like her? The‘Pardesia‘ dance number, ‘Big Boss‘ and ‘Nach Baliye 3‘ changed quite a few things for her. She is clearly getting noticed by top film makers. K Jo‘s ‘Koffee with Karan‘ happened and Rakhi has also recently shot for an item song in Rakesh Roshan‘s ‘Krazzy 4‘. And boy, all these controversies keep her going in a big way. Like her major fall out with live- in boy friend Abhishek Awasthi, after which she kicked him out of her house and his public apology to her where she also got a chance to slap him on national television. That‘s women power, Rakhi style! Now with Rakhi‘s gradual rise in status, there are more reasons for Abhishek to stay back with her and double up as her secretary too. Abhishek is happy playing the perfect sidekick. And considering his skill set, that‘s the role of a lifetime for him!
