Rakul Preet Singh is enjoying quite the fat time. Having seen the release of three flicks formerly, she’s ready with two further in just this month. The first of them is social comedy Croaker G, which releases in theatres this Friday. The actor sat down for a candid converse with Hindustan Times to talk about the film, her career, and why south flicks are so successful in the north of lateDoctor G also stars Ayushmann Khurrana and Shefali Shah and follows a manly croaker
stuck in the apparently each- womanish world of gynecology. The actor plays Dr Fatima, a UP girl studying to be a gynecologist. And she says she had to take numerous diction and gynecology classes for the part. “ Creating Dr Fatima was a lot of fun. There were diction classes because she speaks in a certain way. We had about a month of diction classes.
And also, of course, gynecology sessions to understand the terms and how you speak in an OT. We had 4- 5 days of sessions with a gynecologist to flash back the names of the tools we use, or how do you hold a invigorated baby. Whether you use that in the film or not, but you completely prepare for it because while doing a scene, you might just need to use commodity. We had a gynac on set as well to make sure we were speaking the right way. The entire process was veritably instigative. ”
Rakul says that while Doctor G deals with a subject considered taboo– gynecology– it is a family imitator that one can watch with their parents. “ They’ve written such a beautiful script. We aren’t trying to be moralistic. All we’re saying is that that a profession shouldn’t be looked at what your coitus is and what your capability is. That, I ’m sure a lot of people will agree with. As per stats, some of the stylish gynecs in the country are men but women may wince down from being open with them. And that’s what we say, your credibility does n’t depend on your gender. I can guarantee you that you can watch this film with your parents and not feel vulgar, ” she says.
The last many times have seen several story- driven flicks getting slumberer successes, and Rakul feels that’s testament to the age-old word ‘ script is king ’. She says, “ I suppose this time is the stylish illustration of how a lot of flicks have worked despite not having the star pull. But it was the conception and story that people got agitated about, and that made stars out of the newer actors. Whether you look at Ayushmann or Rajkummar Rao, guys that came fromnon-film backgrounds and their flicks have clicked with the cult, which is why they’ve a certain pull. ”
But still, Bollywood has faltered in conforming to the change of late and Rakul admits there are literacy to be had. She says, “ Of course, star value adds but these days, the script is the biggest idol and everyone understands that. Time is changing, cinema is evolving. It’s a process that’s ongoing and we’re also figuring it on the go. ”
She has five releases this time and all five are in different stripes. Calling herself fortunate to have that diversity of choice. She shares, “ My bid is to do different effects because I want to be agitated every day when I wake up at 5 am and go for a shoot. Having said that, it’s also luck that these flicks came to me because I can only choose from what I get. But yes, I want to be different. So, Runway 34 was veritably different from Cuttputlli, and Doctor G is different from Thank God, which is a fully different kidney. I just hope I keep getting these openings. ”
Rakul began her career down south and over the last decade and a half, she has worked in flicks in several languages. Now, with the language walls blurring, she feels it’s a good time for cinema. Talking about the dwindling language peak, the actor says, “ It was bound to be because at the end of the day, we’re all Indians and we partake some common sensibilities. We come from different countries and yes we’ve differences in backgrounds but the core emotion is the same. I feel any cinema that’s emotionally driven will connect with the cult. Because all the feelings are the same. You feel love, fear, and sadness each in the same way across languages. moment, the walls aren’t there because of social media and the internet. So moment, someone in the north is watching a Tamil or Telugu film not because it’s a south Indian film but because it’s a good film. Eventually, it’s the film that lands. ”
Rakul’s film– Doctor G– lands on October 14 in the theatres. Directed by Anubhuti Kashyap and written by Sourabh Bhagat and Vishal Wagh, the film is produced by Junglee Pictures.
