Ashima Chibber on selecting Rani Mukerji for Mrs Chatterjee vs Norway
Ashima Chibber commended Rani Mukerji for her portrayal in Mrs Chatterjee vs Norway. When questioned about her casting choice, Ashima remarked, “Rani is Bengali, and she understands the nuances of Bengali culture. She is skilled in her craft. She is a deeply emotional actress who has portrayed a variety of roles throughout her career.”
“When I envisioned Rani Mukerji, I pictured a fierce tigress with her young ones. I saw that strength in her. If anyone threatens her cubs, they will face dire consequences. I wanted that intensity to be conveyed on screen. As a director, I aim to weave together a commercial narrative with a thought-provoking story that resonates. You won’t find a mother sitting idly during a courtroom scene. She is actively seeking out those who have taken her children. Rani possesses that unique spark that empowered the film. Her technical skills are exceptional. It’s akin to an artist mastering their palette,” the director elaborated.
Ashima Chibber clarified that her goal was not to create a courtroom drama. She stated, “My aim was not to focus on courtroom proceedings but to depict Rani Mukerji as highly proactive in her quest to reclaim her children.”

While discussing Rani Mukerji's ability to juggle motherhood and her role during the filming of Mrs Chatterjee vs Norway, Ashima Chibber noted, “She manages numerous responsibilities effortlessly. She would rise at 5 AM to align with Indian time while we operated on Norway time. After completing Adira's online schooling, she would arrive on set and give her all. She has a remarkable talent for balancing family and work while consistently delivering peak performances each day.”
Regarding Mrs Chatterjee Vs Norway, the film premiered in 2023 and garnered favorable reactions from audiences. Stay tuned for further updates!
