As
Rakul
Preet
Singh
gears
up
for
the
release
of
Marjaavaan,
the
actress
talked
about
the
film
and
her
character.
Rakul,
who
was
last
seen
in
De
De
Pyaar
De
as
a
girl-next-door,
will
be
seen
playing
a
character
of
a
sex
worker
in
her
forthcoming
release.
Speaking
of
the
same,
she
told
a
leading
daily,
"Playing
a
prostitute
was
the
selling
point
because
when
else
will
I
get
such
unconventional
roles?
It's
a
risk
and
I
understand
that,
but
as
an
actor,
you
will
always
be
living
in
fear
if
you
don't
take
the
risk
or
worry
about
what
people
will
say.
So
just
take
the
plunge
and
go.
Even
though
she
is
a
sex
worker,
she
is
very
headstrong
and
has
a
big
heart."
Rakul
also
asserted
that
she
didn't
take
this
role
to
break
any
kind
of
stereotype
and
admitted
that
she
loved
her
character
and
the
story
of
Marjaavaan.
"I
am
not
from
this
industry,
and
I
want
people
to
see
my
versatility.
It's
only
when
I
choose
to
do
a
variety
of
roles
that
people
will
see
that.
In
De
De
Pyaar
De,
they
saw
me
as
a
girl-next-door,
but
this
is
so
different.
Tabu
and
Rekha's
role
was
a
brief
role
but
we
still
talk
about
that."
Rakul
might
have
done
a
few
films
in
Bollywood
but
she's
a
well-known
face
in
the
South.
The
actress
has
done
more
than
20
films
there.
When
asked
if
she
can
draw
any
comparison
between
the
Hindi
and
South
film
industries,
she
said
that
both
are
equally
professional.
"Storytelling
is
changing
everywhere,
like
Arjun
Reddy
and
Jersey.
There
are
some
loud
films,
and
biopics,
so
it's
similar.
The
only
difference
is
with
the
work
timings.
We
work
9-6
in
the
south,
and
9-9
here."
