Mumbai, Oct 12 (PTI) Director Siddharth P Malhotra saysdirecting Rani Mukherji's comeback film "Hichki" is like asecond lease of life for him.
The director says after "We Are Family", this was theonly film he wanted to make.
"It took me six years to make 'Hichki'. After 'We AreFamily', this is the only film I wanted to make. I found a Godin Aditya Chopra, he believed in me when no one did. He gaveme a second lease of life, I was washed out," he told PTI.
Post "Hichki", Siddharth says, he would love to directone film a year.
"It is difficult to make a film when films are not doingwell. I am worried but I am excited I got the opportunity tomake this film," he says.
The director says unlike her tough cop act in the 2014film "Mardaani", Rani will be seen in a lovable avatar.
The actor is returning to the big screen post the birthof her daughter Adira.
"In her last film she was Mardaani, here she isloveable Rani. There is a drastic contrast in her character.
There is nothing Mardaani about her in 'Hichki'. In real life,she is a lovable person and that is what emanates from herpersonality in the film," Siddharth says.
"She is very good at her work. I would be a fool not toconsider her contribution, which is immense."The movie is reportedly an inspiring story of woman whoturns her biggest weakness into strength. PTI KKP JURBK.
