REALLY PLAN MUCH NOW’

Ul Preet Singh believes in g her all when it comes to , but is aware that the result t in one’s hands

Rakul Preet Singh has had — and continues to have — a very packed 2022. As many as seven releases starring her are set for the year, and she has no fear of being overexposed. “Honestly, none of us can really plan. We will think of three releases, four releases, whatever we want... And then suddenly, Covid-19 happened. All of us were sitting at home, with Nature telling us ‘You’re basically nothing’. I am a person who knows we can’t really plan much. We can only give our 100% with the right intention towards work. We do not bother about what we do because the result is not in our hands,” she says.

So far, Attack and Runway 34 have both been released in theatres. Lined up next are Doctor G, Thank God and Chhatriwaali, among others. “I feel it’s a great year. There have been three years of the pandemic, work not coming out, shooting in and out of that situation, so this is finally light at the end of the tunnel. It’s great to shoot. I am starting my next this month, in another 15-20 days,” Singh shares.

Runway 34, her last release, fetched the cast good reviews but didn’t meet the box office expectations. Reacting to the praise first, the actor says, “The reviews made me very happy. The biggest satisfaction for me was people noticing me between two fantastic actors like Amit ji (Amitabh Bachchan) and Ajay (Devgn) sir. For me, that was appreciation in its own self. You always evolve when you work with better actors. That is something nobody can take away from me — my growth.”

As for the collections, she adds, “We, of course, expected the film to do better, but unfortunately, these are unprecedented times, we don’t know what’s going to work in theatres. But I will always be proud of this film.”
