Now, the two stars are busy in the promotion of the movie. The makers of the film have also released the first song, ‘Saathiya’, of the movie.
On Thursday, Akshay took his Instagram handle and shared a hilarious video of playing a prank on his co-star Rakul. The prank video is set to the tune of the film’s song Saathiya.
In the video, the duo can be seen taking a stroll together. On their way, they encounter a puddle filled with water. Soon, Akshay finds a solution and places bricks in the water to help her cross the puddle.
However, as Rakul reaches the middle of the puddle, he says a line from the film, “Killer Ke Saath Power Nahin, Mind Game Khelna Chahiye (You Should play mind games, not power games with a killer), and runs away after dropping the brick in the water letting the water splash all over Rakul.
Sharing the video on his Instagram handle, Akshay wrote, “It was all fun and games until someone decided to play mind games. Make your fun reels with a twist on #Saathiya. Looking forward to sharing the best ones.”
This is the first time Akshay and Rakul will share the screen space together. Produced by Rakul Preet’s alleged boyfriend Jackky Bhagnani, the film will premiere directly on Disney+ Hotstar on September 2.
The movie is a gripping adaptation of the real-life case of Anatoly Yemelianovich Slivko, a serial killer from the days of the former Soviet Union.
The couple took to their respective Instagram profiles to share a beautiful picture of them taking a stroll in a park holding hands.
Posting the picture, Jackky Bhagnani wished the actress and said, "Without you, days don't seem like days. Without you, eating the most delicious food is no fun. Sending Birthday wishes to the most beautiful soul who means the world to me!!! May your day be as sunny as your smile, and as beautiful as you are. Happy Birthday my heart."
The Sarrainodu actress also shared the same picture on her Insta with a sweet caption! Rakul wrote, "Thank you my heart! You have been my biggest gift this year! Thank you for adding colour to my life, thank you for making me laugh non-stop, thank you for being you!! Here is to making more memories together."
The actress had a gala time with her team during pre-birthday celebrations. She celebrated her big day in a birthday bash in Mumbai. Rakul’s birthday party was graced by Bollywood actors like Riteish Deshmukh, Ayushmann Khurrana, Sophie Chowdhary and many others.
Rakul who is a popular South Indian actress has worked in several Hindi and Telugu films while Jaccky has featured in films like Kal Kissne Dekha, Ajab Gazabb Love and Youngistaan. He also happens to be the producer of movies like Bell Bottom, Coolie No 1 and Jawaani Jaaneman.
Video Editor: Partha Narayan Das
Producer: Sanchita Mondal
The movie casts Ayushmann Khurrana in the lead role and features Shefali Shah who also has donned the white coat. Interestingly, Rakul had to enroll for medical classes to learn various terminologies and other important things related to the medical world.

On the work front, Samantha will next be seen in Thiagarajan Kumararaja-directed movie ‘Super. Samantha will be seen sharing screen space with Vijay Sethupathi in the movie.
Moreover, Samantha is also shooting for ‘Majili’ with actor and husband Naga Chaitanya.
The 'Aiyaary' appears to be going for a size zero figure with all her dedication and hard workout regime. Rakul is a perfect fitness freak and she reportedly spends hours in the gym to get the right figure she wants. It won't be exaggeration if it is said that Rakul is looking younger and fitter with each passing day.
Rakul often posts videos of her workouts and it can't be denied that her over 5 million followers on Instagram is a proof that she has become a role model for many to live a healthy life by hitting gym regularly.
Here are eight videos picked from her Instagram which can inspire you and make you feel, 'I can do it too':

On World Health Day, Rakul asked people to pledge to be healthy and fit today.

Rakul jolted her fans stating that very few understand the meaning of sweet pain but she felt it by over challenging herself.

https://www.instagram.com/p/Bfp3PNiFPS_/?taken-by=rakulpreet
On the work front, Rakul's next movie will reportedly be a Bollywood flick- 'De De Pyaar De'- sharing screen space with Ajay Devgn and it is likely to hit the theaters on February 22, 2019. Besides, rumours are also there that he will be seen romancing Baahubali Prabhas in a romantic project.
While rumours related to the movie had been making rounds, Prabhas on Thursday himself announced important details about the movie his next film on social media platform Facebook, along with his love interest or the feature lead in the movie.
"Hey guys, I am very excited to share with you the launch of my next trilingual film, directed by KK Radha Krishna and produced by Gopi Krishna movies in association with UV creations. The shoot for the same with Pooja Hegde will begin very soon," he wrote.
Reports were earlier there that Prabhas would be seen romancing Pooja Hegde in the romantic flick but rumours started now making rounds that the makers of the movie were contemplating to replace Pooja with Rakul Preet Singh.

Besides, rumours were also there that the makers might rope in Anushka Shetty because of her fabulous acting skills and the onscreen chemistry she shares with Prabhas.

The film is reportedly said to be a period love story set in the backdrop of Europe. However, other details related to the movie are still under wraps.
‘Saaho’ is likely to hit the theaters late this year or early next year.
An elated Rakul took to Twitter to announce the news and wrote: "Super happy to announce my next in Hindi 'Marjaavaan'! Milap Zaveri let's kill it!"
Welcoming Rakul Preet, Zaveri wrote: Gives me great joy to welcome the gorgeous and talented Rakulpreet to 'Marjaavaan'. Dialoguebaazi and dhamaka en route!"
The film will also star Riteish Deshmukh and Tara Sutaria, who is making her Bollywood debut with "Student Of The Year 2".
The film reunites Zaveri with Riteish and Sidharth after four years after "Ek Villain", which was written by the filmmaker.
The other details of the film are still under wraps.
"They are teaming up again for a romantic drama. The film will be directed by debutant Rajath and will go on the floors next year," a source from the film's unit told IANS.
Last seen on screen in Mahesh Babu's Telugu-Tamil bilingual "Spyder", Rakul hopes to bounce back strongly with "Theeram Adhigaaram Ondru".
Her previous Tamil outings "Puthagam" and "Yennamo Yedho" were duds.
"I don't see 'Adhigaaram' as a comeback to Tamil industry. I have been working round the year in Telugu industry. I have been busy. It's just that my focus has been on Telugu filmdom these last couple of years," Rakul had told IANS.
The new Karthi, Rakul project will be bankrolled by Prince Picture, who had produced Suriya's "SI 3".
No doubt fans always want more from the Baahubali star and love to see him as playing the epic character again and again, but it’s true that fans are also missing their romantic-cum- Young Rebel star, Prabhas.
The next project of Prabhas, ‘Saaho’, is already making headlines for its high-octane action and inclusion of Bollywood Princess Shraddha Kapoor and other veteran actors like Jackie Shroff and Neil Nitin Mukesh. However, to be candid, the all buzz related to the movie is because of Prabhas, only.
Now, if reports are to be believed, the Tollywood star will soon be seen in a love story flick for which he has reportedly teamed up with ‘Jilla’-famed director Radha Krishna.
Meanwhile, reports were there that Prabhas would be seen romancing Pooja Hegde in the romantic flick. However, rumours are now making rounds that the makers of the movie are contemplating to replace Pooja with Rakul Preet Singh.

It is being rumoured that the makers have entered into such a consideration after watching the ‘Mohenjo Daro’ actress in ‘Saakshyam’. However, there is no official confirmation to prove these rumours.
On work front, the ‘Mohenjo Daro’ actress has three films on her table- a family entertainer with Jr NTR, a love story with Mahesh Babu and a comedy, Housefull series, with Bollywood Khiladi Akshay Kumar.
"It is devastating to see the current plight of our country. Every day we hear heartbreaking stories of people struggling and fighting their battles due to the scarcity of oxygen, beds, medications and a lot more. Through this fundraiser with Give India, our aim is to provide support and relief at a ground level with the supplies of oxygen and live-saving equipment," she told IANS.
Rakul Preet urged people to contribute and says that even small amounts will go a long way.
"All we are requesting is for Rs 100 and welcoming more if people can. But a contribution of Rs 100 will go a long way. So, in these trying times when we are feeling helpless, I request everyone to do their bit," she says.
As per the latest reports, Rakul Preet Singh has signed a film under the RSVP movies where she will be playing a sexecutive or condom tester. For those of you who do not know what a sexecutive or condom tester is, they are employees hired by condom brands to test the durability of their products before they are launched in the market.

But Rakul wasn’t the first choice for playing the character. The project was initially offered to Sara Ali Khan. “Sara, who is also doing the Vicky Kaushal starrer Ashwatthama under the same banner, was approached for the social drama. But after the narration, she politely refused the film. She informed the RSVP team she won’t be able to do the role of a sexecutive in the project” a source quoted in Bollywood Hungama.

Not just Sara, it was also pitched to Ananya Panday before it landed on Rakul’s lap. The source added, “After Sara declined the offer, the film was offered to Ananya Panday who also let it pass. Apparently, Ananya and her team felt that the concept and the role was too bold for her, so she didn’t want to do it.”
View this post on Instagram
Rakul Preet Singh, who is usually seen in commercial movies, now has a chance to impress the audiences with this unique role. It seems like Ananya and Sara’s loss has come around as Rakul’s profit.
Meanwhile, Rakul will be next seen in Sardar Ka Grandson, starring Arjun Kapoor and Neena Gupta. The film will release on Netflix on May 18, 2021.
This statement of her gave birth to rumours of Rakul planning to move Bollywood leaving South projects... But those rumours are false and baseless as her statement on the contrary proves her dedication and passion towards work.
"I don't think I have yet made a name for myself in Bollywood. I don't think I have done anything. In fact, I always keep saying that the fact that 'I am an actor' has not sunk in my head. I have been in this industry, in films for five to six years now... Having done so many films even in the south, I mean I take my job seriously, but I don't take the fact that I am an actor seriously," Rakul told IANS.
She further said: "It feels great that God has been kind and the industries have been welcoming, where I got good projects to work on. But I think there is still a lot more to do and I have just begun, you know. This is just the start."
After making her acting debut in 2009 with Kannada film 'Gilli', Rakul ventured into Bollywood in 2014 with 'Yaariyan' and was later seen with Siddharth Malhotra in 'Aiyaary' in 2018.
Rakul Preet Singh will next be seen sharing screen space with Ajay Devgn in Bollywood movie 'De De Pyaar De'. The movie is slated to release on May 17.
"De De Pyaar De", released on Friday, was given a U/A certificate from The Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) which had suggested the makers of the film to replace an alcohol bottle in a song with a bouquet of flowers. Produced by Luv Ranjan and directed by Akiv Ali, "De De Pyaar De" explores the relationship between an older man and a younger woman.
For all those who are planning to book tickets this weekend, here is a list of tweets to go through:

(With IANS inputs)
The model-turned actress Rakul Preet Singh recently opened up about the kind of man she would want to have as her life partner.
During the promotions of her latest Tamil movie ‘NGK’ starring opposite Surya, Rakul revealed her role in the movie and was quoted describing her role as ‘unique and vital’ one. She also added that she believed in creating an impact with her role on screen and least bothered about the screen-time.
Moving on to her marriage plans, during an interview with Behindwoods, when the NGK star was asked to slate down three important qualities she would expect in her future-husband, she shared three golden points for her man-to-be.
For her first point, Rakul said her man should be at least six-feet tall. "I should look up to my man. If I wear heels, he needs to be taller than me."
"Number two, he needs to have some passion in life; a purpose in life. He cannot be someone who does some mundane job. He should have a vision. He might not be someone big but he must want to do something with his life," she added.
Her final point was, "He should have a good sense of humour. Be like me. Be chill."
She also laughed out at the fact that she herself didn’t know why she has stayed single all these years. Hopefully, the lovely lady will find her love soon.
Rakul Preet Singh will appear next in Sivakarthikeyan’s ‘Manmadhudu2’ while she will also be seen in Bollywood movie ‘Marjaavaan.’
Nithiin's fans are well aware that the actor has teamed up with director Venky Kudumula for his upcoming film 'Bheeshma' in which the actor will be seen with Rashmika Mandanna.
For his next untitled venture directed by Yeleti Chandrashekar, the actor made a huge announcement after the pooja 'Mahurat' ceremony held today.
Nithiin took a snap from the ceremony and posted it on his Twitter handle and tweeted “#Nithiin28 muhurtham done.. super excited to work with Yeleti Chandrashekar garu..this film is goin to b Special!! @Rakulpreet finallyyy workin together #priyaprakashvarrier plays d other lead, produced by bhavya anand prasad garu n music by @mmkeeravaani garu.”

The actor probably has high expectations from the movie which will be produced under Bhavya Creations banner and MM Keeravaani will be the music director. Though much information has not been revealed, the movie is tentatively called 'Nithiin28' as the actor mentioned it in his Tweet.
Actor Nithiin is also teaming up with Krishna Chaitanya (director) for another untitled project. The actor will gift three back-to-back movies to his fans this year.
Coming to the 'wink girl' Priya Prakash Varrier, the actress will next be seen in 'Sridevi Bungalow'. It is a Bollywood romantic thriller flick and likely to hit the theaters later this year.
Hot Rakul Preet was seen with Ajay Devgn in De De Pyaar De which also starred Tabu in lead role. Apart from that, the actress will be seen in Sivakarthikeyan’s ‘Manmadhudu 2’ and Bollywood movie ‘Marjaavaan'.
Started as a model, the actress has successfully established herself in Telugu, Tamil and Hindi movie industries. Apart from her acting career, Rakul is also the brand ambassador for Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao programme of the Telangana government.
Her recently-released movie, ‘NGK’ starring Suriya is still running successfully at the box office. The movie received mixed reviews from critics but Rakul's acting skill was praised by all. Besides, she was recently seen in Bollywood movie ‘De De Pyaar De’ with Ajay Devgn and Tabu.
Recently, the ‘Yaariyan’ actress shared a picture of her in a blue bralette and unbuttoned pair of demins on Instagram. According to sources, she shot the pic for ThnkMkt Magazine cover. She shared the picture on her Instagram and captioned it: “Throw me to the wolves and I will return leading the pack #girlpower #believe #grateful#gratitude”.
While Rakul was complimented as ‘the epitome of hotness’ and a ‘legit Greek Goddess’ for her bold shoot, many trolled her on the social media platform and passed nasty comments. However, the graceful actress dealt with it sensibly and hit back in style.
In an interview with India Today, Rakul Preet said that she is unfazed by trolls. "I do what I feel like doing, what I feel is right and what my family is okay with. People who have to appreciate will appreciate, those who have to criticise will criticise. That's how I live my life," she said.
Rakul's reply shut the mouth of the troll army.
Rakul Preet Singh will be next seen with Sidharth Malhotra in ‘Marjavaan’. The movie's cast also include Riteish Deshmukh and Tara Sutaria.
Rakul took to Instagram on Monday morning and shared a picture of her in a black outfit and captioned it, "#make your own rules #loveofblack".
The 28-year-old actress looks absolutely stunning in those pictures. Here are the pics:
Rakul was last seen in a Bollywood flick alongside Ajay Devgn in the Bollywood rom-com 'De De Pyaar De'. She is also working in Telugu, Tamil and Kannada films.
She will next be seen in Milap Zaveri's 'Marjaavaan', which also stars Riteish Deshmukh, Sidharth Malhotra and Tara Sutaria. The action drama is slated to hit theatres in October.
Rakul will also be seen alongside Seasoned star Nagarjuna in 'Manmadhudu 2'. The movie is set to hit the theaters on August 9, 2019.
If you are a movie buff who loves typical rom-com, then this is your kind of movie. But there are many more reasons to watch this sophomore film.
Reasons To Watch “Manmadhudu 2”
Rahul Ravindran debuted with “Chi La Sow” around a year back as a director which was widely appreciated by the critics. For this Nagarjuna starrer, the expectations are already quite high as the actor turned director Ravindran has already nailed it with his first release. Also, the trailer looks quite promising.
Both Nagarjuna and Rakul Preet Singh are one of the finest actors in the Telugu film industry and the story is also quite different from the first movie. That gives you a good reason to go to the theater and enjoy this flick.
Another highlight is the cameo appearances by Samantha and Keerthy Suresh. The pictures of both these actors from behind-the-cameras have already been released by the filmmakers. Although there is no word about the role of Samantha in the film, Keerthy Suresh is rumored to be playing the role of the ex-girlfriend of Nagarjuna.
The story is an official remake of “I Do,” a French film that has a playboy being pressurized by his sisters and mother to marry. He hires a woman to act as his fiancé and who will ditch him on the aisle. But it seems the whole plan goes the other way round.
By Sangati Jogwar
Rakul has captioned the picture as "Nothing is better than kickstarting my day with Yoga !! Transform your life inside out #stretch #meditation #innerwellbeing #healthymind #healthybody @anshukayoga."The actress loves to be fit and active and always follows a strict diet and fitness routine.
Rather she says, “My brain doesn’t work until my muscles are pumped from some form of exercise. Staying active comes naturally to me.”

Rakul’s Favorite Exercises That Keep Her Fit
One of her regular favorites is anti-gravity or aerial yoga in which yoga swing or hammock is used to perform different postures that are a part of regular yoga. These are the postures that are difficult to perform on the yoga mat. Basically this form of yoga originated in New York and is a combination of dance, Pilates, and yoga and provides total body workout.
Strength training or weight training is another favorite of Rakul Preet Singh that improves muscular fitness. In this form, you exercise a specific muscle or muscle group against external resistance. The resistance used can be weight machines, free weights, or even your own body weight. Rakul performs it twice a week for 30 minutes. Strength training is the best way to lose weight quickly.
Stretching is also an important part of Rakul’s exercise regime that offers flexibility to the body. By following all these different exercises and keeping a tab on what she eats, the “Yaariyaan” actress manages to keep herself beautiful and fit.
Rakul entered Bollywood debut with the film ‘Yaariyan’, and since then she had become a national crush.
However, for this success, apart from acting skills, the actor puts in a lot of hard work to keep fit. And amid her hectic schedule how does the model-turned actor manage to throw fitness goals for all her fans? ...by posting a picture of herself doing yoga on a Sunday.
It's not the first time that the Yaariyan actress has shared her workout picture. She had earlier impressed her fans by doing some balancing posture workouts which revealed her secret to such an amazing and fit body.
This time too, Rakul made her fans take note of her fitness mantra. Sharing a picture on her Instagram handle, Rakul captioned it, “Nothing is better than kickstarting my day with Yoga!! Transform your life inside out #stretch #meditation #innerwellbeing #healthymind #healthybody.”
Wearing a black crop top paired with grey yoga pant, Rakul was seen trying a yoga posture with her eyes closed in the click.
Well, no wonder Rakul Preet Singh is all set to be seen with Sidharth Malhotra in ‘Marjavaan’. The movie’s cast also include Riteish Deshmukh and Tara Sutaria. The movie is set to release on November 22, 2019.
Rakul is also working on Tamil films- ‘SK 14’ and ‘Indian 2’. Rakul was last seen in a Bollywood flick alongside Ajay Devgn in the Bollywood rom-com ‘De De Pyaar De’.
After grabbing the 66th National Award this year, several ace movie makers of Indian film industry want to rope in the talented actress for their projects. Though there is no strong report about the movies in Keerthy's kitty, the gorgeous and talented actress will be seen in Miss India which was tentatively titled as Keerthy 20.

Keerthy Suresh will share screen space with Jagapathi Babu, Bhanushree, Nadhiya Naveen Chandra, and Rajendra Prasad among others in Miss India helmed by Narendra Nath,
As per the title, the story probably is all about the glamour industry and expectedly the story will portray about the journey of Keerthy Suresh of becoming Miss India. This movie produced by Mahesh S Koneru under the banner East Coast production will be shot in Telugu and Tamil simultaneously.
Keerthy Suresh was last seen in Nagarjuna Akkineni and Rakul Preet Singh starrer Manmadhudu 2 in a cameo role. Sarkar, released in 2018, was her latest full-fledged film.
Fans hope, their favourite actress Keerthy Suresh will once again move her magic wand and mesmerize with her outstanding acting skills.
"It's been long time. I am putting a board and roaming that I am single and searching for someone. Everyone thinks that there is a big line of people behind me and I must be in full tension," she said. The "Marjaavaan" actress said she always was clear in her mind that she would complete a minimum amount of education before she ventured into acting.
"I was 18 when I did my first Kannada movie. It came my way and I did it, but back then my priority was studies. If anyone asked, (I said) I need to have minimum of graduation because if films don't work, I need something where I can go," she recalled.
She remembered how veteran Telugu director Puri Jagannadh had called her once, shortly after his superhit film "Pokkiri" released. "'Pokiri' had just released at that time and he asked me for a-60 day schedule. I said, "sorry sir, I am doing my maths Honours, I cannot do this. If you have something for five-six days then it's fine with me. Everyone's reaction to that was like ‘What?!' But I am glad that was my choice," she shared, while speaking in an episode of Voot's "Feet Up With The Stars Telugu", hosted by Lakshmi Manchu.
The episode will go live on Monday.
Recently, actress Rakul Preet Singh shared something interesting about Rhea when asked about how she dealt with flirting. Rakul revealed that she gets flirting tips from her friend Rhea.
"She (Rhea) is probably the best person for this," Rakul said in an episode of "The Love Laugh Live Show", aired on Romedy Now.
About her, Rakul said, “I am terrible at flirting. I can have a conversation but I don't know how to flirt! I always feel that people don't hit on me and my friends are like that you don't know if someone is hitting on you."
Opening up about the qualities she looks for in a man, Rakul said, "I think something that is very important to me is intellect. I just need to have interesting conversation and it needs to be stimulating. Otherwise it is just going to be another 2-3 days, 2-3 weeks, 2-3 months and you can't really get along with that person for life. I think that there are not enough men with good conversations."
She further said that she is terrible at auditions. “I hate it (auditioning). Reading to nobody and knowing nothing about the character and saying action in that dingy depressing room is not an indication of what you can do. I think acting is all about action-reaction, you feel it and then you emote. I don't know how to feel in that audition room so I always tell them that I am real, so just make someone legit act with me,” said Rakul.
"I have had no affairs because I think I've been too busy working. I'm single," Rakul said.
On the qualities she looks for in a man, she said: "Frivolous nai chahiye, thoda sa dimag hona chahiye (I don't want him to be frivolous, he should have brains), and somebody who has drive in life. I'm somebody who cannot just do relationships for the heck of it. There has to be a meaning to it. Two people have to be compatible. I think somewhere, love has lost its meaning in today's time. I keep joking that I should have been born during the seventis!"
Questioned if she has "bro-zoned" the film industry, Rakul said: "No! No, please don't say this! I haven't. I just become the friend, which is not a good thing. I'm a f*ttu! I can't tell when someone is flirting, I can't flirt to save my life! My closest friends flirt for me on the phone! Firstly I rarely know how to flirt, then I'll get stuck somewhere."
Will she date an actor? She said: "Ya! I mean it's not the profession, it's about the person that you are and if that actor is the same, why not?"
There were some rumours about dating Rana Daggubati. To which Rakul said: "Oh My God! We're neighbours, not literally but 2 minutes away and we are a closest group of friends with Lakshmi Manchu who is also my best friend and Rana is also one of my closest friends like that you know? He's been a friend since I started my film journey. When I became friends with him, he was in a relationship so we became friends first and then you are the gang!"
Rakul opened up about her personal life in conversation with Sophie Choudry in an episode of the VOOT show "Work It Up".
However, the De De Pyaar De actress has been rumoured to be dating Baahubali actor, Rana Daggubati.
Rakul and Rana were spotted hanging together along with their friends and both of them have admitted sharing a strong bond from the beginning of their career. But, after the actress cleared the air and declared about being single, it dealt a deathblow to rumour mongers.
Recently, Rakul appeared in a fitness talk show-Work It Up with Sophie Choudry. The show's host raised questions about her link-up rumour with Rana. To this, the Yaariyan actress was taken aback.
New 18 quoted the actress saying, "Oh My God!, We are neighbours, and part of a close friend group with Lakshmi Manchu who is also my best friend. Rana is also one of my closest friends like that you know? He's been a friend since I started my film journey,"
The Aiyaary actress once again repeated, "I have had no affairs and I'm single."
In the work front, Rakul will be seen with Sidharth Malhotra in Marjaavan which also stars Tara Sutaria and Riteish Deshmukh in lead roles, and is slated to release on November 22.
Apart from that, Rakul has been roped for an untitled movie opposite Arjun Kapoor which will be helmed by debutant director Kaashvie Nair.
Very few actresses have successfully wooed their fans in both the industries and Rakul being one, recently shared a 'big' secret behind working in Tollywood and Bollywood.
In an interview with Times of India, the De De Pyaar De actress spoke about the "special attribute" required for working in Bollywood.
When Rakul was asked about her opinion on the necessity of attending film parties to bag big opportunities of working in Bollywood, the actress said, “In Bollywood, it’s more about the personal touch you have with people, you reach out yourself for the kind of films you want to be a part of. Also, let me tell you, nobody is going to give you work just because you attended a party. It helps to touch base with everyone, but only good work begets more work."
"Today, content is what matters and because of that, there is an increasing demand for talent. If you are talented, it might take time, but at the end of the day, you will find your place. Mumbai and Hyderabad are both very welcoming that way. They also appreciate hard-work. If you are hard-working, people are ready to give you a chance,” Rakul was quoted as saying by TOI.
Well, these words from Rakul Preet will certainly help the aspiring actors desperate to enter the Bollywood and Tollywood industries.
Rakul Preet Singh will be next seen in Marjaavaan starring Sidharth Malhotra, Riteish Deshmukh and Tara Sutaria in the lead which has garnered a lot of appreciation and attention of the moviegoers. The movie will reportedly hit theatres on November 15.
Ever since the stunning actress made her debut with Kannada film `Gilli` in 2009, she hasn't looked back and eventually went on to give multiple hits in Telugu and Tamil cine industry. Rakul then stepped into the Hindi cinema garnering a huge fan base from across the country.
Last week, Rakul along with Riteish Deshmukh, Siddharth Malhotra and Tara Sutaria had come to the most popular comedy show on Sony TV 'The Kapil Sharma Show' for promotion of their upcoming love-action thriller 'Marjaavaan'.
And host Kapil Sharma as usual came up with his set of rumours seeking an answer from the celebrities. Kapil asked Rakul, "You had studied Mathematics in your college career which is why you sign films having a triangle love story. Is it true?"
[caption id="attachment_414799" align="aligncenter" width="750"] Image Source: Twitter[/caption]
The De De Pyaar De replied in a funny manner saying, "I use Maths in life only to count the calories."
She further added, "I have been slapped once in my life and that is for Maths. I was weak in simple interest and compound interest and my dad slapped me only once. This happened when I was in Class 7th."
Rakul Preet Singh however clarified that the Thappad (slap) was with simple interest, not a compound one.
Marjaavaan is all set to hit theaters on November 15, 2019. She has also been roped in for two more Telugu and Tamil movies, the shooting of which is likely to kick off very soon.
Rakul Preet Constantly Rejecting Marriage Proposals?
Recently when Rakul along with the star cast of Marjaavaan came to Sony TV's popular comedy show 'The Kapil Sharma Show' to promote their film, host Kapil threw some uncanny rumours at Rakul.
Though there is no truth behind the rumour, it was an absolute hilarious session at TKSS.
A few days back, Rakul shared many things about her personal life in an episode of the VOOT show 'Work It Up'. She was of the opinion that love has lost its meaning in today's life.
Narrating about the qualities she looks for in a man, she said "Frivolous nai chahiye, thoda sa dimag hona chahiye (I don't want him to be frivolous, he should have brains), and somebody who has drive in life. I'm somebody who cannot just do relationships for the heck of it. There has to be a meaning to it. Two people have to be compatible. I think somewhere, love has lost its meaning in today's time. I keep joking that I should have been born during the 70s!"
There is very little doubt that Rakul's fans are more desperate than her about her love-life.
While Marjaavaan is set to hit theaters tomorrow, on the work front, Rakul is likely to keep herself busy shooting for Telugu and Tamil movies she has been roped in.
Arjun on Saturday shared a collage of pictures on Instagram and captioned the image "Picture Shuroo... other information bhi upload hogi soon."
In the collage pic, Arjun and Rakul are seen goofing around while posing for the images.
Reacting to the collage, Janhvi, who is Arjun's step-sister, wrote: "Looking so cute."
The film, not titled yet, is being directed by debutant Kaashvie Nair and produced by Bhushan Kumar, Nikkhil Advani and John Abraham.
Talking about the project, Rakul had said: "The film is in the rom-com space, and it is the story of characters who belong to India and Pakistan, so it's a cross-border, coming-of-age rom-com."
The combination of Sid and Ritiesh Deshmukh has once again done wonders at the box-office as for both of them their major hit was “Ek Villain” that they did together a couple of years ago. Also starring Tara Sutaria and Rakul Preet Singh, “Marjaavaan” has for the first time shown that Sidharth Malhotra is a strong actor and can even do action scenes incredibly well.
Although there are people who still are not ready to accept Sid as the mainstream actor, many have acknowledged that a superstar has finally arrived and fans can expect him to do versatile roles apart from the regular chocolate boy-romantic lover characters. Some of the tweets that have been in favour of the “Brothers” actor have proved that people have finally started acknowledging him as a good actor.

Mixed Reviews From Critics But Film Is Superhit
The movie has received mixed reviews from the critics and some of them have also said that Sidharth Malhotra has done overacting in the two-hours plus running flick. While Tara Sutaria has been dubbed a bland, it is Ritiesh Deshmukh’s character that has been appreciated by almost everyone. However, these are the reactions of critics. But the masses have loved the role of a thug called Raghu played by Malhotra. Many have even compared his action of chewing matchstick similar to Deewar’s Vijay, a character made legendary by Amitabh Bachchan.
Both Rakul and Himansh Kohli debuted in Bollywood with “Yaariyan” in 2014 directed by Divya Kumar Khosla. After that Rakul acted in some good B-town movies like “Marjaavaan” opposite Sidharth Malhotra, Riteish Deshmukh and Tara Sutaria (2019), Aiyaary opposite Sidharth Malhotra in 2018, and De De Pyaar De opposite Ajay Devgn and Tabu in 2019.

Amid the lockdown due to the coronavirus crisis, actress Rakul Preet Singh is helping over 200 families living in a slum close to her home in Gurugram. She says that it is a "small effort" to express her gratitude.
The actress along with her parents, Kulwinder Singh and Rajender, is sending packets of home-cooked food to them.
"My dad figured this entire slum where people are completely out of their basics. We are facilitating two meals a day for all those people and we have decided to do it till the time the lockdown is in place,a Rakul said.
"If the lockdown gets pushed further, I will keep doing that. For now, I have committed till the month of April and then we will see depending on the situation. The food would be cooked at a place in my society and will be sent out to those people," she added.
The actress said that everyone should be doing their bit especially during this time.
"It is very important to understand that many of us are privileged. We have a house, help, food, ability to stack up in case of emergency but this is when you give it to the society. For me, nothing can give me more happiness than the smiles on these people's faces when they will eat their meal. And that will make me extremely happy," she said, adding: "So that's my way of expressing my gratitude for everything I have and it is a very small effort. Whoever can make a difference should, because I truly believe in giving back to society."

Singer Kailash Kher was set to play live from his home on April 5 for fans but he has moved the date. He now plans to bring together various music artistes for a series of virtual concerts.
The singer had shared a video on Instagram and captioned it, "Thank you all our countrymen and the real heroes for standing together in this fight against corona. And lauding the voice of the head of the Nation. I am coming live in virtual concert #prakashaalokan #प्रकाशआलोकन a musical salutation. 5th April at 9:10pm"
https://www.instagram.com/p/B-hKsCKHmIC/
However, the virtual concert was pushed.
"The virtual concert planned for April 5 has been pushed. Though there will be a big announcement by me and some of the eminent singers of the nation," he said.
But, now there is a good news for his fans.
"Since my virtual concert was announced yesterday (April 3), there has been an overwhelming outpouring of support from the industry, the media and the people. Several artistes and musicians have expressed their willingness to join the movement 'Prakash Alokan' and spread the light through our music and art forms," said the "Teri deewani" hitmaker.
"We are now planning a series of virtual concerts that will see the nation's artistes coming together," he added.
(With Agency Inputs)
Incidentally, the actress has also worked with Sidharth in Neeraj Pandey’s Aiyaary that released in 2018. De De Pyaar De by Luv Ranjan starring Ajay Devgn and Tabu in the lead was yet another movie of Rakul released in 2019. The actress got good reviews for both her 2019 releases and she even managed to attract a lot of attention from Bollywood producers. But the lockdown forced due to the COVID-19 pandemic may affect the way her career was taking shape.
Rakul Is Missing Her Busy Life
According to the Spyder actress down south she has worked 360 days a year which means she is used to working all through the year. That is why this lockdown is making her uneasy. Rakul recently stated that to keep her mind busy and understand business better she even enrolled for a business administration course online. However, that does not mean that the actress will be leaving the film scenario anytime soon.
Rather she is keen on making it big in the Hindi film industry after becoming a success in the South Indian cinema. And that is why this lockdown is worrying Rakul. She was supposed to have a big release Attack with John Abraham in 2020 and also was roped in for a film with Arjun Kapoor and yet another with Sidharth Malhotra and Ajay Devgn in the lead.
But once the lockdown came into force, everything went haywire and now the producers are uncertain whether they should postpone these movies or drop the idea of taking them forward. Good news for Rakul is that Bhushan Kumar, the producer of De De Pyaar De has decided to come out with a sequel. She was indeed looking forward to it. According to Rakul, “I used to message Akiv (Ali, director) sir, asking when we would do a sequel. I got to know from the news, too. I'm already looking forward to working with the same team again.”
But again, Bhushan has not mentioned whether he will repeat the same star cast or not. So maybe Rakul has a real reason to worry about her career in the B-town.

Even struggling male actors were expected to bow down to such demands. Actors like Ayushmann Khurrana spoke some time ago about this and raised many eyebrows with his revelations. So what does the South Indian leading ladies have to say about casting couch?
Anushka Shetty & Samantha Akkineni Accept Its Existence
At the start of the year during the promotion of her last movie Nishabdham, the leading lady of Baahubali franchise said that there is a prevalence of casting couch in the Telugu film industry. Anushka further revealed how she has kept herself away from such things. She said, “I admit that it exists in the Telugu film industry but I never had to face it because I was straight forward.”
Anushka further added, “I have always been straight forward and frank. The actress should decide whether they want the easy ways and less fame or harder ways and sustain for a long in the entertainment industry.” Now, that was certainly a confirmation of the existence of a casting couch.
Another leading lady, Samantha Akkineni also accepted that such a practice does exist in the film industry. In one of her interviews, the actress said, “Not only in films, but casting couch is also there in every industry. I can’t comment about each and everyone’s virtue or qualities. There will be a few black sheep. But I am working in the Tamil and Telugu industry for the last eight years. My first film was a hit and I didn’t have much of a struggle.”
Isha Koppikar And Rakul Preet Singh On Casting Couch
Another actress who has worked in both Bollywood and South Indian movies, Isha Koppikar has also accepted the existence of casting couch. She even admitted that some of the secretaries touched her inappropriately. Isha also said that she lost a lot of offers because she did not accept such proposals.
On the other hand, Rakul Preet Singh said that she never came across such a thing as a casting couch. She was slammed by two other South Indian actresses, Madhavi Latha and Sri Reddy who said that Rakul denied such a thing because she fears losing good opportunities. Another leading star of South India, Nayanthara has never said a thing about casting couch.

The actress said that her father who was an army officer has set the boundaries real high. They are pretty difficult to reach. The De De Pyaar De actress believes there are not enough men with a depth around which is why Rakul Preet Singh is unable to find the right kind of guy for herself. According to the actress, her father is quite an aware man who has in-depth knowledge about everything including current affairs whereas most of the guys around today do not dig deep and are only contented with superficial things.
While revealing how families of army soldiers deal with the uncertainly that is a part of their regular lives, Colonel KJ Singh said that their wives get used to it. He said, “We live in the present not imagining things that can happen later on.” His advice is being prepared for the worst but live life in the present.
Rakul said it’s sad that people in India do not understand what soldiers are facing. People find staying at home to protect them against COVID-19 difficult and here are the soldiers who are coming out in the open just to protect their countrymen.

On the other hand, the Indian soldiers have been defending the borders for years but they are not given due respect. The Aiyaary actress gave an example as to how in the US armed forces are looked up and their contributions are celebrated. Rakul laments that a lot of people in India even do not know the basics like the rank system in the military which is quite unfortunate.

Apart from Rhea, her brother Showik Chakraborty, Samuel Miranda, Sushant’s house help Dipesh Sawant are already in judicial custody for their alleged link in the drug case.
Though they had approached the Mumbai Special NDPS Court for bail, it was rejected and now they are likely to move the Bombay High Court for bail.
Rhea, in her bail plea, had alleged that she was "coerced" into making "self-incrimating confessions" during her interrogations by NCB for three days this week, and maintained that she had not committed any crime whatsoever but was being falsely framed in the case.
“Once we get a copy of the NDPS Special Court Order, we will decide next week on the course of action about approaching the Bombay High Court,” Rhea Chakraborty's lawyer Satish Maneshinde told mediapersons.
According to Times Now, Rhea Chakraborty took the names of Sara Ali Khan, Rakul Preet Singh and designer Simone Khambatta during the NCB interrogation. This apart, the Bureau has reportedly a list of 25 Bollywood A-Listers who are linked to drug use or trade.
If media reports are to be believed, Rakul is currently out of the town for shooting while Sara may release a statement soon putting an end to all the specualtions being made after Rhea took her name in the drug case.
Reports are also making rounds there that the NCB may soon issue summons to Rakul Preet Singh and Sara Ali Khan in connection with the ongoing probe.
On the other hand, Rhea has also reportedly named the person who allegedly introduced Sushant Singh Rajput to drugs. As per reports, she has admitted this before the NCB.
Rhea reportedly revealed the name of the film maker who introduced drugs to Sushant while narrating how they used to party at Sushant's farm house.
This apart, the actress has reportedly said that consuming drugs in Bollywood is very natural and she used to procure the drugs for Sushant.
Meanwhile, the NCB team has taken into custody one Dywan Anthony Fernandes, a suspected supplier of cannabis, and two others from Dadar.
The NCB sleuths also raided certain locations in central Mumbai and western suburbs and picked up one Karam Jeet Singh Anand in connection with the drug angle probe. The officials reportedly seized banned substances like ganja, charas etc from Anand's possession.
Times Now had earlier reported that Rhea Chakraborty took the names of Sara and Rakul during the NCB interrogation, in a drug case, related to Sushant Singh Rajput's death.

Earlier, #SorrySara and #SorryRakul trend as in apologies to the two actors for the misreporting. However, the NCB's clarification has ended all speculations and rumours related to the news.
It was previously reported by the said news channel that Rhea Charheakraborty, during interrogation, had named Sara, Rakul, fashion designer Simone Khambhatta and around 21 others, as drug consumers.
Claims were also there that the NCB had prepared a list of 25 Bollywood names who would be summoned for further questioning.
According to Times Now, apart from Deepika, Sara, Shraddha and Rakul, Simone Khambatta, Karishma Prakash and Shruti Modi have been called too.
If media reports are to be believed, NCB will start grilling of the Bollywood stars in the next three days.
"As part of our investigation, we issued summons to few people. They are expected to join the probe in next few days, said Ashok Jain," NCB official.
As per reports, the NCB official said that it has summoned Khambatta, Rakul and Sushant's former manager Shruti Modi on September 24.
However, Deepika, along with Karishma, has been called for questioning on September 25 while Sara and Shradhha have been called on September 26.
According to media reports, Deepika is shooting for a film in Goa these days.
Social media was earlier flooded with memes and trolls targeting Deepika Padukone, after her manager was summoned by the NCB.
This apart, Madhu Mantena Verma, a noted producer, who gave blockbusters like 'Udta Punjab' and 'Ghajini', also today deposed before the Narcotics Control Bureau in a drug-related case.
The NCB had on Tuesday questioned Kwan Talent Management Agency CEO Dhruv Chitgopekar. The agency also questioned Sushant's talent manager Jaya Saha for the second time on Tuesday. Both of them were questioned for over six hours.
Khambatta's name cropped up after her alleged drug chats came to the fore. Sushant's former manager Shruti Modi was also being interrogated in a drug related case during the day, officials said.
Bollywood actor Rakul Preet Singh, who was also summoned for questioning on the day, skipped the NCB summons, officials said. Earlier in the day, an NCB official said that Rakul's summons were issued on Wednesday and on Thursday morning she acknowledged them and updated her latest address also.
An NCB source said that Rakul will be joining the drug law enforcement agency probe on Friday morning.
According to NCB officials, Khambatta arrived at the NCB office here for questioning around 10.15 a.m. and left around 2.30 p.m. Khambatta was questioned about her alleged chats to procure drugs for consumption, the sources said.
Shruti Modi arrived for the third at the NCB office earlier and her questioning is ongoing, the agency sleuths said.
On Wednesday, the NCB also summoned actresses Deepika Padukone, Shradhha Kapoor, Sara Ali Khan for questioning in a drugs related case.
Deepika, who was shooting in Goa for a film, has left for Mumbai. Even Sara was spotted at the Goa Airport along with her mother Amrita Singh while returning to Mumbai earlier.
On Wednesday, besides Deepika, the NCB sent summons to her manager Karishma Prakash for questioning on Friday and Sara and Shradhha for questioning on Saturday.
The NCB registered a case under the NDPS Act on the request of the Enforcement Directorate (ED) that has been probing the money laundering charges into the June 14 death of Sushant.
The narcotics probe agency registered the case after a few alleged chats of Sushant's girlfriend Rhea Chakraborty, her brother Showik, Sushant's house manager Samuel Miranda discussing drugs came to the fore.
The NCB has so far questioned Rhea, Showik, Modi, Sushant's talent manager Jaya Saha, Kwan talent management agency CEO Dhruv Chitgopekar, 'Udta Punjab' Producer Madhu Mantena Varma among several others.
Responding to a question on the number of cases the drugs law enforcement agency is probing, an NCB official said: "The agency has registered two separate cases under the NDPS Act. There are few aspects in both cases which warrant examination of both Sara and Shraddha, so they will be examined in both cases."
The NCB has already arrested Rhea, Showik, Miranda, Sushant's personal staff Dipesh Sawant and 16 others in the case so far. Rhea, Showik, Miranda and Sawant were in judicial custody. The official said while the alleged chats of Deepika with her manager Prakash discussing drugs in October 2017 brought them into the probe net, Shradhha and Sara's role came to the fore following the questioning of Saha.
The NCB is the third federal agency to probe the death of Sushant besides the CBI and the ED.
Rakul (29) was seen entering the NCB guest house, from where the central agency is operating, in Colaba around 10.30 am.
She has been summoned by the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) as part of its probe into alleged Bollywood-drugs nexus.
Her name had cropped up during the interrogation of actress Rhea Chakraborty, Rajput's girlfriend who has been arrested by the NCB in the drugs case along with over a dozen others, the official said.
Earlier, Rakul was to record her statement on Thursday, but her team had claimed she had not received summons from the NCB.
NCB officials reached out to her on Thursday following which she acknowledged the summons, the official said.
Besides Rakul, actor Deepika Padukone's manager Karishma Prakash and Dharma Productions executive producer Kshitij Ravi are also slated to join the NCB investigation on Friday, he said.
An NCB team had raided Ravis residence at Versova in the western suburbs on Thursday, the official said.
The team also had carried searches at the residence of a TV actor-couple who was also quizzed by NCB officials, he said.
The NCB, which began the inquiry after a drugs angle came to light in connection with Rajput's alleged suicide, has now widened its investigation and asked a clutch of Bollywood celebrities to "join the probe".
Rajput (34) was found hanging in his apartment in suburban Bandra on June 14.

She also accepted that drugs recovered by NCB at her house belong to Rhea Chakraborty. According to Republic Bharat Rakul confessed that the Jalebi actress used to deliver drugs to her residence. But she also said that the stash found by NCB at her home does not belong to her. Reports indicate that the Aiyaary actress accepted the authenticity of the drug chats. However, she denied consuming drugs anytime in her life.
The Bureau is in the process of building a strong case against Rakul Preet Singh and other named celebrities. It is because mere WhatsApp chats are not enough to build up a case against them.
While the NCB has sent the summons to other involved actresses like Deepika Padukone, Sara Ali Khan, and Shraddha Kapoor, their main intention is to get links to the hackers and major suppliers.
Earlier Rakul Preet Singh denied receiving a summon from NCB. But today the Bureau officials slammed the actress accusing her of causing confusion and misleading the agency. The agency officials said that the actress tried to mislead them with her excuses.
Incidentally, it was only after NCB threatened Rakul of serving a non-bailable warrant that the actress showed up today at the NCB office.
After Rakul Preet Singh denied getting a summon from NCB, the agency served her second summon yesterday. Additionally, the officials raided her house and recovered stash from her residence.
So the question is if she was not consuming drugs then why was Rhea Chakraborty delivering it to her house.

Now reports suggest that as managers of celebrities employees like Karishma have to give all types of services to their clients. And now it seems it also includes procuring drugs.

The NCB will quiz the Bajirao Mastani actress tomorrow at 10 am. Earlier rumors went adrift that Ranveer Singh has requested NCB to allow him to accompany Deepika during questioning citing anxiety issues. However, today NCB cleared that Ranveer has made no such request.
Incidentally, problems for Deepika may escalate further post interrogation of Karishma Prakash by NCB. The agency grilled Karishma for around 6 hours today. So there is a strong probability that she might have revealed more information regarding her association with Deepika and the drug chats.
NCB is expected to use this information tomorrow when it grills the actress. And that can prove problematic for Deeps. When the drug chats became viral a few days ago, Deepika was shooting in Goa for Shakun Batra's next movie. It also stars Ananya Panday and Siddhant Chaturvedi.
After the news of Deepika Padukone's involvement in drugs came to the fore, the makers paused the shooting. The actress reportedly contacted her team of legal experts and started discussing future courses of action. She touched Mumbai late last night with her husband.
Earlier today, the NCB also grilled another Bollywood actress Rakul Preet Singh who confessed the authenticity of the drug chats. Apart from Deepika Padukone and Rakul Preet Singh NCB has also summoned Sara Ali Khan and Shraddha Kapoor for interrogation.
