Rakul Preet Singh Opens Up On Cuttputlli Getting Criticised For Romantic Angle

Akshay
Kumar-Rakul
Preet
Singh’s
psychological
thriller

Cuttputlli
released
on
Disney+Hotstar
last
week.
A
remake
of
Vishnu
Vishal’s
Tamil
hit

Ratsasan,
the
Bollywood
remake
failed
to
impress
the
critics
and
the
audiences.
Also,
the
crime
thriller
received
flak
for
the
romantic
angle
between
Akshay
and
Rakul
which
many
felt
was
irrelevant
to
the
narrative
and
killed
the
thrill
of
the
film.

In
her
recent
interaction
with
Indian
Express,
Rakul
addressed
this
criticism
and
said
that
they
had
a
romantic
angle
in
the
‘thrilling
and
intense’
film
as
a
breather
to
make
it
a
family
watch.

Rakul
told
the
tabloid,
“There
is
a
certain
section
of
the
audience
that
enjoy
(romance,
song
and
dance).
We
have
made
this
film
for
families.
Indian
films
are
known
for
the
quintessential
masala.
Today
if
you
say
that
Telugu
cinema
is
doing
well,
it
is
masala
that
is
doing
well.
People
want
entertainment.
People
have
had
tough
lives,
especially
the
last
two-three
years
have
been
very
tough.
Families,
a
large
section
of
our
Indian
cinema
viewers,
enjoy
the
balance.
So,
if
the
story
is
thrilling
and
intense,
a
little
bit
of
breather
here
and
there
makes
it
a
family
watch.”

The
actress
also
spoke
about
people
jokingly
calling
her
‘Lady
Akshay
Kumar’
for
doing
multiple
films
in
a
year
in
the
Telugu
Film
Industry.
She
called
herself
a
workaholic
and
said
that
she
‘lives,
breathes
and
dreams’
cinema.
The

Runway
34
actress
said
that
she
is
extremely
grateful
that
she
has
work
and
added
that
she
will
never
say
no
to
work.

So
far,
Rakul
Preet
Singh
had
three
releases
this
year
which
include
John
Abraham’s

Attack,
Ajay
Devgn-starrer

Runway
34
and
Akshay
Kumar’s

Cuttputlli.
Her
upcoming
film
is
Sidharth
Malhotra-Ajay
Devgn’s

Thank
God
which
is
scheduled
to
release
on
October
24,
2022.
