Details

Rani returned to movies after a hiatus of two years

Rani was last seen in the 2014 hit 'Mardaani', after which the 40-year-old actress took a sabbatical of two years as she got married to Yash Raj Films head honcho Aditya Chopra and gave birth to their first child Adira. Therefore, 'Hichki' is being termed as her comeback film of sorts. It has been directed by Siddharth P Malhotra.
