“There could have been no better way to celebrate my birthday today than announce this really important film. In my 25th year in cinema, I have possibly signed one of the most special and significant films of my career. I started my career with Raja Ki Aayegi Baraat, which was a woman-centric film, and coincidentally in my 25th year, I’m announcing a film that is also centered around a woman’s resolve to fight against all odds and take on a country. Mrs. Chatterjee vs Norway is a story of true human resilience and it is a film that is dedicated to all the mothers out there. It is truly one of the most amazing scripts that I have read in a long, long time and I immediately decided to do this special film,” Mukerji said in a statement. Mukerji’s other project includes Bunty Aur Babli 2 with Saif Ali Khan, Siddhant Chaturvedi and debutant Sharvari Wagh. The crime-comedy is set to release on 23 April this year.
