THE STORY
After the super-success of "Har Dil Jo Pyar Karega,"
the hit team of Salman Khan, Preity Zinta and Rani Mukherjee team up once
again for Director Duo Abbas-Mustan's "Chori Chori Chupke Chupke." In a
marathon schedule of 14 days, the film is fast heading towards completion.
The story is that of a bar dancer named Madhubala (Preity Zinta). Her mind
is full of money, money, money all the time. Salman Khan is married to Rani
Mukherjee. They are left a will which states that unless the couple has
a baby, they can't claim the property. But they find out that Rani can't
conceive. That's when Salman Khan decides to ask Madhubala to be the surrogate
mother. Of course, she agrees.
ON LOCATION
On the sets, the camaraderie between Rani, Preity
and Salman has to be seen to be believed. All three are extremely friendly
and keep playing jokes and pranks on each other. The scene being canned
on the day we visit is between Preity and Rani, when they first meet each
other. Rani is telling Preity about her family. She doesn't know that Preity
is a bar dancer. All along, Rani keeps calling Preity, "Pritam" (her nickname
given by Bobby Deol). They laugh and giggle like two schoolgirls, but they
give their takes one after the other.
Preity looks so slim... she's in danger of losing her dimples! Rani too
has slimmed down and appears reed-thin. Both women are obviously thrilled
by the comment, but they insist that they are still hogging at it. During
lunch, it's obvious that they've not been lying.
As Salman trots along on the sets, Preity and Rani are watching a sleazy
dance number picturised on Preity a couple of days earlier. Preity goes
red with embarrassment. "Look at me, wearing those cheap clothes and dancing
like a slut," she screams. "I'll never be caught dead in those clothes ever."
Rani keeps teasing her best friend, but when somebody tells her how well
the two get along, she retorts on people eyeing their friendship, only to
find the next headline: "Rani-Preity at War!" She bursts out laughing.
Salman is sulking in a corner and both Rani and Preity hop across to him.
He hands them his cigarette butt and ask them to stub it out. Then he lies
on his back and asks Rani to press his back! All this while the two girls
are chattering nonstop with him. We can't make out whether he's listening
at all or just plain sleeping.
When the shot is called again, Preity tells us, "Salman is the most under-rated
actor in the film industry. Each time he improvises on the sets, and also
gives you mind-blowing suggestions. I share a very good rapport with him!"
Rani concurs. "He's really fun to work with. I know his entire family...
Sohail, Bunty... all are my buddies. I think Salman's a fabulous actor and
person. This is my third film with him and I've always enjoyed myself in
his company."
