Nothing new happening in films today: Rani

Actress Rani Mukherjee feels nothing new is happening in the films today and it is all about revisiting the past. But she acknowledges that the audience are ready to accept 'good' films.

"Our industry comes from an era where Shammi Kapoorji, Raj Kapoorji and all of them were icons in terms of looks. I don't think anything new is happening today. It is all about revisiting of what happened in the past. But in terms of audience, changes have taken place," said the actress whose latest flick Aiyyaa is scheduled for release on October 12.

Produced jointly by Anurag Kashyap and Viacom 18 Motion Pictures, Aiyyaa marks the Bollywood debut of Marathi director Sachin Kundalkar. South Indian actor Prithviraj Sukumaran plays the male lead.

The promos of Aiyyaa and the song Dreamum Wakeupm give a South Indian touch to the film. "In this film, there is a beautiful love story between a Maharashtrian girl and a south Indian man. The song Dreamum Wakeupm is a tribute to all the south Indian songs and dances that we all have been fans of, because they are high on energy and are mind pulsating," she said giving out some details of the film.

She also said that she has now become very choosy about her roles. "There are certain criteria on which I choose a film. I don't categorise films as women or men-centric or author backed roles. I don't choose films with some agenda,” said Rani whose last film was No One Killed Jessica in 2011.
