Rani Mukerji has been one of the most successful commercial film actresses but also has strong content-driven films to her credit. Talking about it in an exclusive conversation with Bollywood Hungama, Rani said, "I believe that I am a commercial film actress and all my films, to some extent, have stories that I wish for people to watch, whether it is Hichki, Mardaaani, Black or Yuva. I think they have all been very successful at the box office because they were special stories to be told with special characters because commercial films do not always mean that you have to apply a lot of makeup, wear fashionable clothes, and sing and dance. That is one aspect and the other aspect is where you want to present a story and talk about a special character. I see all this as coming under the commercial aspect and people want to watch such films as well”.

Rani Mukerji will next be seen in the film Bunty Aur Babli 2 co-starring Saif Ali Khan, Siddhant Chaturvedi, and Sharvari. The film will be released on November 19.
