Actress Rakul Preet established a place for herself in Kollywood with Yennamo Yedho. However, she has been missing in action post that. When it was announced that she has been signed opposite Vishal in Mysskin’s Thupparivalan, the entire industry was looking forward to her re-entry of sorts. But now the actress had to walk out of the film due to date issues. This decision has raised many eyebrows as she turned down the film after Akshara Haasan was brought on board. The busy actress has now cleared the ongoing controversy.
Speaking to DC, Rakul says, “Yes, the news is true and I had to back out of Thupparivaalan, as I am currently busy with five projects — Dhruva with Ram Charan, AR Murugadoss- Mahesh Babu’s untitled bilingual project, films with Sai Dharam Tej, Naga Chaitanya and Boyapati Srinu. I signed Thupparivaalan in February and it was supposed to start in June. Since, it got delayed, I couldn’t take this film up. I would have loved to do the movie as Mysskin is one of my favourite directors. Even if I tried to compensate by doing day and night schedules, I couldn’t squeeze in a sixth film.”
Rakul will resume shooting AR Murugadoss’ bilingual project in Hyderabad from today. She further added that the team has planned the next schedule in Chennai. Putting an end to all speculations about playing the female lead opposite Vikram in Saamy 2, she says, “I am not even aware of Saamy 2.” Anu Emmanuel of Action Hero Biju fame is likely to replace Rakul in the film.
