Rakul ups style stakes for her next with NTR

RakulRakul Preet Singh, who is currently shooting for the final leg of ‘Nannaku Prematho’, starring NTR in the lead, will be seen in the role of a modern girl hailing from an affluent family. “I play a super rich girl, born and bred in UK. My character will have a bit of attitude; imagine I’m the daughter of a father who is listed in Forbes (smiles). It is a classy role and since it’s based out of Europe, my styling has been at a different level altogether. The role gave me a great opportunity to amp up my style stakes,” she reveals.

Prod her to reveal a little more about her look and she says, “It’s quite contrary from the way I was presented in my earlier films. It’s very high street fashion look because of the foreign (UK) backdrop. We have incorporated pieces from Autumn-Winter 2014 and Spring-Summer 2015 collections to put the look together. My costumes and accessories have been shopped in London and Dubai. I would be seen in western outfits throughout. I’m sure the audience will love it.”

Describing NTR as a terrific actor, she says, “Working with NTR has been amazing and he’s easily one of the best actors around. He doesn’t even rehearse for any dance moves. He just comes and looks at the step and emulates it, hardly going for a retake. We are yet to shoot the dance numbers completely but I’m awestruck.

He is brilliant in front of the camera as far as emoting is concerned and I’m thrilled with his grasping power. Everyone on the sets was touched by his performance during the emotional scenes particularly. I had a whale of time shooting for the film and thoroughly enjoyed the entire journey of working with him.”
