Rakul Preet Singh to play cop for the first time in ‘Thank God’

Rakul Preet Singh, who was in the capital to promote “Thank God” with co-star Sidharth Malhotra, said that this movie is special for her because she’s going to wear a uniform for her character. “This time I will play a cop but it is not an out-and-out cop-based film.

If it was, then I would require a different kind of training,” Rakul Preet said. “So this time, it was limited to just the body language, just holding the revolvers, and of course, the first time I’ve worn a cop uniform, and I would love to explore that side. In fact, I am not getting one right now but would love to do such roles more.”

Furthermore, she praised the director of the film Indra Kumar and said: “When I was listening to the narration I was laughing. Indu ji has a very different way of narration. I think what you need for a comedy is great writing. You need a visionary, you need a director, who can execute that writing. I think we were not so stressed.”

“Because Indra ji has been making films like this I really feel that he understands the pulse of the audience. So as an actor, you surrender to the director and you know that he knows his timing.” On talking about her future projects, she said: “There is ‘Chhatriwali’ that is completed, and then there is a thriller and a rom-com that I have shot for.”

As Rakul wraps up the conversation she said what she is going to miss about the capital: “Golgappa, there in Mumbai we get Pani Puri but the taste is not like what we get in Delhi. So, I really miss it, always.”

The film is based on a flawed person who aspires to rise from the lower middle class to the upper middle class and after an accident, he meets Chitragupta, who decides that a game will decide whether he deserves heaven or hell.

Indra Kumar, who is known for films such as “Beta,” “Raja,” “Grand Masti” and others, is all set for his next fantasy comedy drama “Thank God” starring Ajay Devgn, Sidharth Malhotra and Rakul Preet Singh, shared about his friendly bond with Ajay and how much they both respect each others’ work. Indra also opens up on how Ajay accepted his offer of being part of the film which is all about a real estate broker, who met with an accident and when he woke up, he found himself in heaven.

But God asked him to play a game and if he won, he could go back to earth. “Whenever I go to him with a script he just looks at me and says ‘Yes’ to do the film. He doesn’t even read the script,” said the director.

Rakul praised the director for shooting for the film tirelessly even during the time of pandemic. “He is the youngest director I have worked with. We shot in and out during Covid but he didn’t have any fear,” Rakul concludes.
