Trending: Rani Mukerji's Promotion Plans For Hichki

New Delhi: Actress Rani Mukerji will start the promotions of her upcoming film Hichki from next week. DNA reports that Rani has blocked the day of Makar Sankranti to kickstart the promotions. "Rani wants to start her promotions for Hichki on Makar Sankranti, which is a holy day. It is a day to pray and express thanks for success and prosperity. It couldn't have been a better day to start the promotions," a source from her team informed DNA. She will also be travelling to Ahmedabad to interact with students and her fans. Hichki, produced by Yash Raj Films, is Rani's first film in four years. She was last seen in 2014's Mardaani.

Of the Ahmedabad promotion schedule, the source added, "There are a slew of activities that have been planned. The team wants to drive home the message of the film right from the start. Ahmedabad is the first city that Rani is visiting. She will visit eight more cities to promote Hichki."

In Hichki, Rani, 39, plays Naina Mathur, a teacher suffering from Tourette syndrome - a condition that forces an individual to make involuntary repetitive movements or sounds. The tagline of the film reads, "What is life without a few hiccups." Rani earlier revealed that she truly relates to the ideology. "Yes, of course. I think hiccup is a normal process for any actor, for any person in their life. Sometimes you have a hiccup in your personal life and sometimes in your professional life. But the beauty of a hiccup is that you can get over it as well. There have been times professionally and personally I have been through hiccups," she told news agency IANS.
