'Working with Shah Rukh has been one of my favourite things': Rani Mukerji as 'Chalte Chalte' completes 17 yearsAuthor : AZIndia News Desk
Shah Rukh Khan and Rani Mukerji starrer Chalte Chalte released in 2003 and clocks 17 years in 2020, so, in a recent interview, Rani opened up about shooting for the film and said that Chalte Chalte is one of her favourite films.
Speaking to a publication, Rani said, "Working with Shah Rukh has been one of my favourite things! It was Shah Rukh's production and it was the first time I had visited Greece, Mikonos, and Athens, which is a fun memory for me. The beautiful blue and white houses was a landscape which I had not seen before."
She further added, "The island was just amazing to stay and shoot. Athens also has such stunning architecture, such heritage, so many things which speak of history! We had a very nice outdoor during Chalte Chalte."
For the uninformed, it was Rani who gave India the big trend of the smokey eye through the film but she credits celebrity make up artist Mickey Contractor for his vision, "I remember smokey eyes becoming a huge rage during the release and everyone kind of adopted that style of makeup. Mickey and me today also chat about it and he says that Rani had you not trusted me with doing those eyes for you, the look probably would have come much later," the Mardaani actor said.
Speaking further about working with Shah Rukh, Rani said, "It was a Red Chillies production and we were looked after humongously because Shah Rukh always kind of goes out of his ways to make his unit member and actors very comfortable and I have had a great association with Red Chillies whether it's Chalte Chalte or Paheli. It's one of the best production houses. I really miss working with Shah Rukh's production because he takes such special care."
