'Mrs Chatterjee vs Norway' director Ashima Chibber said Rani Mukerji was crying while they were shooting the film. "I was pretty emotional...I couldn't imagine...someone had suffered this long: 610 days without your child is excruciatingly painful," added Chibber. Talking about getting an offer to direct the film, Chibber stated, "It felt like an elephant had put his leg on me."
