Since a meaningful story demanded an intriguing title that would serve as a metaphor to challenges, weaknesses, prejudice and social stigma, director Siddharth P Malhotra said it was a task to figure out the perfect title for the film.

It was none other than Aditya Chopra who came up with the title of wife Rani Mukerji’s comeback film. In the comedy-drama, Rani will be seen portraying the journey of Naina Mathur, who suffers from Tourette Syndrome, and how she faces discrimination from the society that firmly believes she cannot be a teacher because of her disorder.

Rani Mukerji will soon be seen in home production, Hichki.

“Nothing could have described the film better than Hichki. It’s uncomplicated, it’s a strong metaphor to discrimination and it’s an extremely colloquial and relatable word,” Malhotra added.

Produced by Maneesh Sharma, Hichki will release across India on February 23.
