Rishika is paired opposite Govinda in the film titled Bhagwan Ke Liye Mujhe Chod Do. The Delhi-born actress, who had shot for a few days before lockdown, says she’s ecstatic about working opposite the Rangeela Raja star.

“Govinda plays a dual role and I am playing opposite the younger one,” she shares, adding that she had bagged the role after auditionin­g for the breezy entertaine­r.

The actress states that she plays a chirpy girl hailing from UP in the Satyendra Raj directoria­l. But the most exciting part is that she has to do action sequences. “I’m thrilled to perform action sequences in my debut film itself. I had trained under stunt choreograp­her Moses, and the filming will start after normality is restored. I have undergone a three-week workshop to get the nuances of my character perfect,” she adds. According to Rishika, she learnt several things from Govinda, including dance moves and dialogue delivery.

In conclusion, the actress says she’s a big fan of Puri Jagannadh. I like his work; ever since I saw iSmart Shankar, I have been waiting for an opportunit­y to work with him. I’m glad that I got the opportunit­y," she says.
