A lot of effort and hard work seems to have been put in by Rani Mukherjee in order to prepare for her role in the movie Dil Bole Hadippa. She put in those extra hours in the gym to reduce the waistline and do away with the excess fat. That part of her effort was clearly visible when the promos of the movie and the title track hit the screens with Rani looking all hot and ravishing in the bikini.

Now after that comes the second part. She was to disguise herself as a Sikh boy to get into the men’s cricket team. If you thought getting the look right was right then what about the cricketing skills. If she lacked over there it would show on those big screens and that can be huge problems. However being a true professional, she even worked on her cricketing skills before giving a shot in front of the cameras.

The practice was not just a one-day affair but a complete six months coaching module. A member of the Indian women’s cricket team coached her but the name of the player who gave her the training has not been revealed. She was seen sharpening her skills as a cricketer in the grounds of Delhi and Punjab where the major part of the movie has been shot.

Now the coach was satisfies by the drills she did but the final vote belongs to the audiences and they will decide whether she has it in her to clear the boundary and hit it all the way. The movie will also see Shahid Kapur, Anupam Kher, Rakhi Sawant and Sherlyn Chopra in supporting roles.
