<p>Actress Rani Mukherjee feels nothing new is happening in the films today and it is all about revisiting the past.<br /><br /></p>.<p>"Our industry comes from an era where Shammi Kapoorji, Raj Kapoorji and all of them were icons in terms of looks. I don't think anything new is happening today. It is all about revisiting of what happened in the past," Rani told PTI.<br /><br />"Even this whole thing about trying to say that women oriented films have taken over today, I think it is a myth. What about films like 'Bandini', 'Sujata' and 'Mother India', it has all been happening. It is just that those things are coming back," the actress said .<br /><br />"So I don't feel that there is anything unique happening, but yes in terms of audience changes have taken place," she said.<br /><br />Rani is happy that today the audience have changed, who are ready to accept 'good' films.<br /><br />"The youth today...the kind of films that are being accepted is because they are the ones who go and see it. Today they are ready to accept a different genre," she said.<br />"Today people are reacting to different genre of films, reacting to good films regardless of what they are," she added. <br /><br />Rani's last film was 'No One Killed Jessica' in January 2011 and now 'Aiyyaa' releases this Friday.<br /><br />"Everybody goes through a phase in their career where they decide that every film that is offered to you, you can't do it. You have to choose; especially I like to choose the best out of the lot," she said.<br /><br />"There are certain criteria on which I choose a film. I don't categorise films as women or men-centric or author backed roles. I don't choose films with some agenda. If I like the script I will accept it. The film should be something that the audience like as I don't want to disappoint them," she added.<br /><br />Produced jointly by Anurag Kashyap and Viacom 18 Motion Pictures, 'Aiyyaa' marks the Bollywood debut of Marathi director Sachin Kundalkar. South actor Prithviraj Sukumaran plays the lead opposite Rani.<br /><br />The song 'Dreamum Wakeupm' and the promos of 'Aiyyaa' give a feel of south Indian touch.<br /><br />"All this was very easy. As an actor there should be nothing that should be difficult for me. It is my job to act and I have to be really good at it. There should be nothing that should be awkward for me to do the film," Rani said.<br /><br />"In this film, there is a beautiful love story between a Maharashtrian girl and a south Indian man. The song 'Dreamum Wakeupm' is a tribute to all the south Indian songs and dances that we all have been fans of, because they are high on energy and are mind pulsating," she said.</p>
