Rakul Preet Singh: Small films with new directors are reaching out to a larger audience

Rakul Preet Singh is always set to face challenges. She made her debut in Bollywood film Yaariyan. Post her debut, she went to work with southern film industry. Brought up in Delhi, the actress who was born to a Punjabi household learnt Tamil for her films. Talking about her experience of working in south films after her Bollywood debut, the actress said to a leading Indian daily, "I always feel that there are good people and bad people or a good filmmaker and a bad filmmaker. I have been very lucky to work with teams in Tamil and Telugu films who encouraged me to do better."

She went on to add, "So, when I shifted to Hyderabad, I decided to learn Tamil. I believe when you are working in an industry which is your bread and butter and, also, fans are giving you so much love, couldn’t I learn their language for them?"


"I had finished shooting for Yaariyan and two days later I went to Hyderabad to sign my Tamil films. For the filmmakers in south, I was a fresher because my Bollywood film had not released," said the actress.

She added, "Things are changing now, and people are looking for good scripts. Small films with new directors are reaching out to a larger audience. As far as I am concerned, I just go with my instinct. If I really like the script and my character, I would just close my eyes and take it."

Rakul Preet Singh was last featured in Aiyaary which also starred Sidharth Malhotra and Manoj Bajpayee.
