Rakul
Preet
Singh,
who
worked
with
Sukumar
in
the
forthcoming
release
Nannaku
Prematho,
said
the
experience
helped
her
discover
the
actor
within
and
perform
beyond
her
own
expectations.
"Working
with
Sukumar
was
amazing.
He's
someone
who
trusts
his
actors
and
allows
them
to
experiment
with
dialogues
and
scenes.
When
you're
working
with
him,
you
learn
a
lot
subconsciously
and
that
helped
me
in
discovering
the
actor
within," the
former
model
expressed.
Rakul
believes
she
has
given
her
career's
most
natural
performance
in
the
film.
"Sukumar
comes
from
a
very
different
school
of
working
style.
He
never
shoots
with
set
dialogues
and
scenes.
Most
of
it
is
improvised
on
the
spot.
He'd
tell
me,
'Rakul,
if
this
is
your
character,
how
would
you
behave?
Show
me',"
she
said.
"Instead
of
making
us
act,
he'd
make
us
become
the
characters
we
play.
He'd
pick
up
these
nuances
from
our
day-to-day
lives.
He'd
remind
me
of
how
I
did
something
over
breakfast
in
the
morning
and
then
ask
me
to
include
it
in
my
performance,"
she
added.
Paired
with
actor
Jr.
NTR
for
the
first
time,
Rakul
plays
the
daughter
of
a
multi-billionaire
in
the
film.
"It's
a
character
I
haven't
played
before,
so
there
was
no
reference
to
it.
The
testing
part
was
to
look
believable
in
the
role,
because
unlike
any
other
character,
a
billionaire's
daughter
carries
herself
very
differently,
be
it
the
way
she
dresses
or
even
walks,"
she
said.
Talking
about
her
experience
of
working
with
NTR,
she
said
she
experienced
initial
jitters.
"It's
because
I've
only
met
him
once
before
briefly.
I
didn't
know
him
as
a
person
or
know
his
mood
will
be
before
the
shoot.
But
slowly
the
ice
was
broken
and
I
thoroughly
enjoyed
working
with
him,"
she
said,
and
added
he's
extremely
talented.
"He's
someone
who
is
brilliant
in
every
sphere
of
cinema.
When
you're
working
with
him,
you're
automatically
pushed
to
the
edge
and
that's
very
rewarding,
because
when
you
have
a
talented
co-star,
you
want
to
perform
even
better,"
she
said.
Rakul
was
also
nervous
to
match
steps
with
NTR,
who
is
an
exceptionally
good
dancer.
"Dancing
with
him
was
tough.
He
wouldn't
rehearse
and
just
takes
a
minute
or
two
to
do
a
step.
Even
though
I've
danced
with
actors,
it
wasn't
the
same
with
NTR.
She
is
currently
shooting
for
Allu
Arjun-starrer
Sarainodu
and
she
will
next
team
up
with
Nithiin
for
a
yet-untitled
project
in
the
language.
