Rani's mother, father, brother and bhabhi are with her in Varanasi

Apparently, all the recent rumours, speculation and recent trouble with the locals in Varanasi have made Rani Mukherji wary of mingling with everyone. The latest buzz is that the normally friendly and effusive Rani Mukherji has been uncharacteristically aloof in Varanasi where she has been shooting for Pradeep Sarkar's film since a month.

Rani's mother, father, brother and bhabhi are with her in Varanasi. When Rani is not working, she spends all her time with her family. In the evening when she packs up she does not hang out with the unit members. Rani has become wary of external company after all the trouble she has faced in Varanasi. She is focussing only on her family," says a source from location.

Is Pradeep Sarkar's new film actually called Choodiyan? Rani says, "No! As of now the film has no title. Earlier some Hindi newspapers mentioned that the film was Anaam, meaning it is 'untitled'. After which the newspapers started calling the film Anaam. Now they've gone ahead and named our film Choodiyan. That probably started when some people saw Konkona and me shooting for a song in which we are wearing lots of bangles! "

The month-long shooting schedule in Varanasi will end soon, after which the unit will return to Mumbai where Abhishek Bachchan will make himself a part of the plot.
