Mardaani – Success press conference

 Mardaani – Success press conference

Rani Mukerji was in a very jovial mood as she addressed the media post just 4 days since the release of Mardaani. She seemed very pleased but at the same time was worried that the very purpose of the film gets lost if the girls in the age group 12 years and above are not able to watch it due to A certificate. She urged the NGO’s to come forward and help make the concerned authorities to understand the need.
On being asked about the interaction she had with CM of Gujarat Anandiben Patel, she was all praise and raised the issue of having basic facilities for women in public places be made available  to which the CM gave her assurance… She was very keen to arrange a show of Mardaani  for Anandiben to see. Director Pradeep Sarkar was very vocal about how the basic idea of Mardaani took shape. He said that the Police Stations were the main sources of stories and the the actual incidents which were in Police records provided additional content. Writer   Gopi Puthran was roped in and the researched material was converted into story and Screenplay in such a way that it may not sound like a Documentary film but appear entertaining along with strong message which was intended to be conveyed through the film on Child trafficking.
Mardaani which hit the silver screen this Friday had its success and appreciation press conference yesterday (Tuesday).
