&quot;My character is a huge fan of Sridevi, Juhi and Madhuri. She dreams about them and goes into a fantasy world all the time,&quot; Rani said at the first look of her film held here Thursday. <img alt="'Aiyyaa' poster" src="http://images.mid-day.com/2012/sep/Aaiya-poster.jpg" style="width: 500px; height: 617px; " /> She came dressed as her character, Meenakshi Deshmukh, in an elegant yellow and green traditional Maharashtrian nauvari sari. Rani revealed that her character is not &#39;normal at all&#39;. &quot;She is completely mad and very filmy woman.&quot; Co-produced by Anurag Kashyap and Viacom 18 and directed by Sachin Kundalkar, &#39;Aiyyaa&#39; also stars southern actor Prithviraj and is due to release Oct 12. Rani said she took a lot of help from her director to get the right Marathi look and feel. &quot;Sachin wanted a typical Marathi flavour right from costumes to dialect and pronunciation. You will see a lot of Marathi and south Indian flavour in the film.&quot; After critical acclaim for her intense and bold portrayal of a journalist in &quot;No On Killed Jessica&quot;, Rani said she was looking for a light-hearted film and that is when &quot;Aiyyaa&quot; came to her. &quot;When Anurag came to me, I told him I don&#39;t want to do dark films. I told Anurag I want to do happy films and he told me he is offering me one,&quot; she said. &quot;I wanted to do something different with him since I have known him for long. I know his quirky side. Since I had done dark films like &#39;No One Killed Jessica&#39; and will be doing &#39;Talaash&#39;, I wanted to do something light,&quot; she added. u00a0
