Rakul Preet Singh told about the early days of her career, she was replaced from 2 films. In one film she was with Prabhas while the other film was MS Dhoni’s biopic, in which Disha Patani was later cast in her place. Rakul said that she was not heartbroken by these rejections, the fear was that the wrong perception should not be created in the industry that she was removed from projects due to bad attitude.
In an interview, Rakul said, ‘Before my debut, I was removed from a film, for which I had also shot for four days. It was a Telugu film with Prabhas. But sometimes when you do not know much about the industry or the way it works, you do not take it too seriously. I was so naive that I thought- oh well, they removed me. Never mind, maybe it was not for me, I will do something else.’
Rakul further told why she was removed from the film? She said that the makers realized after some time that the level of the film is such that it would be better to cast an old actress instead of casting a new actress.
Rakul also told that no one had even informed her about being removed from the film. She said, ‘I had come to Delhi after completing my schedule. I came to know about this incident later. Although I knew that I would not get that first big launch, I would have to work my way. Then my first film proved to be a big hit.
Cried a lot due to not being able to work in the film MS Dhoni
Rakul also told in the same interview that she was also removed from the film of MS Dhoni’s biopic. In which late actor Sushant Singh Rajput was in the lead role.
The actress said, ‘Later Disha Patani was cast in that role. I had done the costume and script reading, but then her dates got extended by a month and I was shooting films with Ram Charan and Jr NTR. Bruce Lee: The Fighter was going to release in a month and two songs were yet to be shot. Due to this, the dates could not be managed. I cried a lot that I missed working in such a good film.’
