Popular Tv actress in Rani Mukerji’s ‘Hichki’; Missing from the trailer but here are the PICS! The film 'Hichki' is a subtle reminder of discrimination that exists in the society and has become a part of the day-to-day lives. It highlights this through the story of Naina, played by Rani, who has a nervous system disorder, Tourette syndrome, that forces an individual to make involuntary repetitive movements or sounds. She faces discrimination from the society that believes she cannot become a teacher because of her disorder. Progressive, brave and positive, the movie is about the power of will and determination. Directed by Siddharth and produced by Maneesh Sharma, the movie was released on March 23.
