Priyanka Chopra plays peacemaker

Rani Mukerji and director Kunal Kohli are not on great terms. After the actress worked with Kohli in Hum Tum (2004) and Thoda Pyaar Thoda Magic (2008), their friendship soured. She felt that he’d sidelined her and promoted the other actress in the film Ameesha Patel, with whom he shared a close friendship at the time. Since then, they haven’t been on talking terms. Priyanka Chopra, who is working in Kohli’s next, wants to play peacemaker and patch them up.
In a recent interview, when PC was asked who she would like to play peacemaker for, she said Rani and Kunal. Even though this is her first film with the director, Priyanka and Kunal have hit it off and she now wants the former friends to make up.
An insider says, “It’s true that Kunal and Rani no longer talk to each other. TPTM didn’t turn out as expected, and Rani felt let down. During the promotion she felt the focus had been on Ameesha’s item song, which upset Rani. She sent him an angry message, which he replied to in the same tone, and they never spoke after that.”
Enter Priyanka. She feels that Rani and Kunal should sort matters out and go back to being friends. While she hasn’t made any moves to bring them together under one roof, she has discussed her plan with Kunal, who seems open to the idea. The big question is: Will Rani feel the same?
