Fed up of denying rumors of her wedding with Aditya Chopra, Rani Mukerji is now determined to address the 'weightier' issue.
Inspired by Kareena Kapoor's impressive return to a svelte body form, Rani has engaged Kareena's instructor Payal Gidwani to repeat the magic for her. If a Kapoor could do it, it should be easier for a Mukerji!

"Rani is my challenge. I want to bring her down to 45 kg," she says.
Rani's next film, Thoda Pyaar Thoda Magic, produced under the Yash Raj banner, hits theatres on June 27. In it Rani plays a nanny with magical powers to Saif's character's kids.
There has been media speculation that the film is inspired from Mary Poppins, but director Kunal Kohli says people are jumping the gun, and should reserve their judgment till they have seen the film, something that sounds self serving to us.
"My film is on the lines of Anil Kapoor's Mr India. It looks like a children's film but it has every element. It has villain like Mogambo, a lovely song like Kaante nahi kat teh, and also a fun element involving children."
Hopefully, the film will do good to Rani's sagging career.
Her forthcoming films include Anurag Singh's Next with co-stars Shahid Kapoor, Rakhi Sawant and Sherlyn Chopra and Bemisal directed by Nagesh Kukunoor.
