Here's Why Rani Mukerji Is Headed To The Mumbai Slums

Hichki - tells a story within a story. First, it narrates the story of Naina Mathur (played by Rani) who has a nervous system disorder, Tourette Syndrome. It focusses on how she turned her disadvantage into an inspirational success story. Second, the film is also a reminder about discriminations that exists in our society and has become a part of our daily lives. This is highlighted through Naina’s students, who face severe social prejudices because of their underprivileged background and how Naina empowers them to stare down at social stigmas to try and make a life for themselves. Hichki is about celebrating human spirit, it’s about positivity. Keeping with the optimistic spirit of the film, Rani will shoot a special promotional music video for the film that celebrate victory over all sorts of social stigmas.

Being judgmental can be a hichki, as can be social prejudice and personal bias. With this video, as with the film, we show stories of those who deal with Hichkis smoothly, to achieve their dream.”
