Over the years, Rakul Preet Singh has starred in several films and has carved a niche for herself. Following her streak with Telugu and Kannada films, the actress debuted in Bollywood with ‘Yaariyan.’ In a recent conversation, Rakul opened up on the struggles she faced as a newbie and how she maintained an optimistic outlook. Moreover, Rakul revealed that she was replaced in a Prabhas-led title after four days of filming.

In her conversation with Filmfare, Rakul Preet Singh stated, “I was in paradise. I would think it’s okay if I didn’t get a role, something else is there for me. I was not corrupted and it helped that I wasn’t living in the whole actor/model area in Mumbai and I was living in Kandivali. She added, “I was detached from the actor/model circuit. I would diligently go, do my work and there were a lot of rejections. There was a film in Telugu that I shot for four days and I was replaced. It was with Prabhas.”

Talking about it, she said, “It was for the best. Everybody had the best intention. I was new and in my second year in college. I was studying on the set for my exams. The film was Mr Perfect. After we finished the first schedule, I went to Delhi and there I got to know that I have been replaced by Kajal Aggarwal. So, Kajal and Prabhas’ another film had released that week while we were shooting and it had become a blockbuster. So, the producers thought to repeat the same cast and it was a business call. That happens many times when a new girl gets replaced.”

When probed if the move hurt Rakul, the actress replied, “No, I didn’t know that aspect. I went back to Delhi and they told me that they will let me know about the second schedule. I got to know that I have been replaced when I went back to Delhi and I said, ‘Okay. There is something better for me.’”
