Rakul Preet Singh: Overwork is not a problem for me

Juggling four films can be hectic. But Rakul Preet Singh is far from daunted and has added another project to her plate - director Ranjit M Tewari's next, Mission Cinderella. The Akshay Kumar-starrer is a remake of Tamil psychological thriller Ratsasan (2018). "Many films got postponed due to the pandemic. In the prevailing situation, I am thankful to have work. Overwork is not a problem for me," she says.

While Kumar has kicked off the shoot of the thriller in England, Singh will join later as she is filming Doctor G with Ayushmann Khurrana in Prayagraj. She quips about bonding with her co-star over "lame Punjabi jokes". "Ayushmann understands the pulse of his co-actor, [which enables us] to constantly improvise. He is from Chandigarh, and part of my family hails from the city, so there is a connection," says Singh, who plays a gynaecologist in the comedy.

Up next, she has John Abraham's Attack, Ajay Devgn's Mayday and Indra Kumar's Thank God. Having worked with Devgn in De De Pyaar De (2019), she was glad that the superstar chose her for his directorial venture. "While shooting for Mayday, I got to see another side of Ajay sir - as a director. It is not easy to act in and helm a film. But he is sharp and technically sound." Grateful for the enviable line-up, the actor says she has tried to go a notch higher with every project.
