Even a toned down body and her bikini show could not do wonders for Rani Mukherjee’s career which is undoubtedly on a downhill now. So, the gal has turned to the smaller screen as the judge of the reality show, Dance Premier League (DPL).

She will supposedly be the second judge apart from dance guru Shiamak Davar. Rani is elated to be a part of this mega show which goes on air from 9th October.

Dance Premier League is a unique format where teams from all zones of India - North, West, East, Central, South and even one team of NRIs’ will compete in a league format to emerge as the Champion Zone of the country. Every team will have a unique logo, brand ambassador, cheer-leaders and slogan.

Each zone will have a brand ambassador who will announce the names of the finalists of their zones. While Salman Khan will be seen rooting for the North zone, Bipasha Basu for East and Arshad Warsi for South. Its being said that Bollywood baadshah Shah Rukh Khan and actress Kajol have been approached for the NRI zone along with Katrina Kaif.

The production house is also in talks with Preity Zinta and Kareena Kapoor for Central and West zones respectively.

Rani has got this opportunity after Madhuri and Aishwarya backed out. “Madhuri has ditched the channel and production house as she could not find a nanny to look after her kids. There were talks with Katrina Kaif too but things seem to be bit difficult there, thus now they have approached to Rani Mukherjee for the same,” says the source from the production house.
