The trailer of Mrs Chatterjee vs Norway was unveiled a few weeks ago and ever since it has become a talking point. It is inspired by the real-life story of Sagarika Chakraborty whose children were taken away by the government of Norway citing that she’s not taking care of them appropriately. How she waged a legal war against the unfair system forms the crux of the film. Rani Mukerji plays the lead character in this Ashima Chibber-directed film.
Interestingly, Mrs Chatterjee vs Norway has been shot in Estonia and not Norway. An event was held by the makers on Friday, March 10, where Karan Johar had a conversation with Rani Mukerji and producer Nikkhil Advani. Karan asked Nikkhil whether there was a backlash from the government of Norway after the film was announced or after the film’s trailer was unveiled. Nikkhil Advani surprised everyone by replying that the Norwegian government hasn’t slammed or reacted in any way. He also added that the government of Norway had even invited him to shoot Mrs Chatterjee vs Norway in their country despite the title making it amply clear that it doesn’t show Norway in a good light.
Nikkhil Advani said, “There was no backlash. We had pre-empted or assumed that Norway would not want us to shoot a film like this. It was also lockdown time. We were supposed to shoot in March 2021 but the film got pushed to August. We finally decided to shoot in Estonia.”
Nikkhil continued, “We had put out a press note that our film Mrs Chatterjee Vs Norway is all set to be shot in Estonia. Everything was set until one day, we got a call from the Norwegian High Commission. The official asked me, ‘Why are you not shooting the film in Norway?’ They added, ‘We believe in freedom of expression. You should come over here and shoot your film’!”
