Mumbai, Jan 29: Actress Rani Mukherjee garnered heaps of praise for her stunts and brave action sequences in the movie 'Mardaani' all the way in Poland where the actress had gone for the premiere of the movie.
She plays a confident cop persona who fights tooth and nail to track down the runners of a gang involved in human trafficking to get to the kingpin himself and save a teenage girl in their clutches. Her exemplary performance got unparalleled ovation from the Indian audiences based in Poland. After the premiere Rani spoke to a large crowd and answered questions for close to an hour on various topics.
When speaking on the issue addressed in the film she said, "It is a great pity that because of global terrorism, people are not paying enough attention to the other problem like global human trafficking particularly of young girls. This is also a huge billions of dollars racket just like drug mafia. The trafficking of girls is not only limited to South Asian countries, it became a big racket after the fall of Berlin Wall in Eastern Europe. If in the 1990s Russian girls were being used in the international market, now Ukrainian, Romanian and Syrian girls are being traded. The vultures are always on the lookout for human flesh. To meet this huge challenge there should a huge response from the NGOs all over the world."
Rani was happy that making a movie on this pressing issue that plagues most countries, she is happy that it has brought this vicious human vice to the people and made them more aware. Rani attributed a huge chunk of the success of the film to its Polish director saying that, " The director of photography of 'Mardaani', Artur Zurawski, a Pole, has done a great job. The film would not have been that big but for Artur's sensitivity to excel," said Rani.
Both Rani and Artur were honoured with special awards by J J Singh, president of the Indo-Polish Chamber of Commerce and Industry (IPCCI). The awards were an acknowledgment of their contribution to promote understanding and business via the medium of films.
