South siren Rakul Preet Singh’s upcoming film, Kondapolam is all set for a grand release on October 8. Starring Panja Vaishnav Tej in the lead role, the film is directed by Krish. Ahead of the film’s release, Rakul shared some interesting things with her fans.

Speaking about her character in Kondapolam, Rakul said that she played the roles of a village girl in many movies like Current Teega, Rarandoi Veduka Choodhham, Khaki, etc. But Konda Polam is in the backdrop of a hill and her character is very different. She is seen as a shepherd and her skin was tanned for this role.

The actress said that she didn’t lose any weight for the film. “I toned down for the movie De De Pyar De. I have been doing the same weight maintenance for the last four years. A film like this has never happened before in Indian cinema. A film about the Shepherds and a movie like the Mini Jungle Book are very interesting. That’s why I immediately said OK to this story,” she said.

Interestingly, Rakul said that dialogues in the film are quite challenging, as they are difficult to speak in a particular dialect. “We also tried a lot for my look. They all wear the same clothes. Don’t even wear jewelry too much. It is very difficult to deal with those sheep in the forest. I, Vaishnav, both worked very hard. Every day after the shoot, we would smell sheep. After four and a half days of the shooting start, we came to know how to control the sheep.”

Revealing her experience about shooting in the jungle, the Bruce Lee actress said that shooting in the woods seemed like a lot of fun. “I shot this movie before I got infected with Corona. The film was almost completed on a single schedule.”

“We were staying at a resort in Vikarabad. There is no permit to shoot at night. That’s why we had to shoot in the morning. Our caravans were somewhere on the road. We are shooting in the forest. It felt like trekking to get there at lunchtime. So my workouts would also be done. That’s why I go to a place so far away from every day and eat.

The actress also said some interesting things about Vaishnav Tej. “His eyes are very powerful. He has a brilliant future. He is very patient. There is no such thing as overconfidence. He also has a huge quest to learn new things.”

Speaking about her future projects, Rakul said she will not choose films with songs and a few scenes. She wants to do only challenging roles. She is selective about her projects and Kondapolam and the character excited her. She said that she will continue to choose such films. “It is not like I am preferring Bollywood. I am doing films wherever I get good roles, she added.

Rakul also said that she is getting OTT offers. But she is yet to sign one. “If I did any OTT Project, I think it should definitely be path-breaking. I am also interested to do female-oriented films. Excellent content is coming in OTT. There is no truth in the news that I am doing Karanam Malleshwari Biopic.”

Rakul said that she is currently busy with Bollywood projects. “I am staying in Mumbai now. My whole team is Telugu people and we all speak in Telugu itself. Six films of my films are set to be released next year.”

The actress said that she wants to do at least one film which the audience will remember for their lifetime. “Maybe something like Baahubali or DDLJ. I think Konda Polam is one such film,” she said.

Speaking about the producer of the film, Rakul said that Rajiv Reddy is a good and silent man. She added, “he does not talk too much, but he sees everything. Krish is also the producer of the film. Both of them share the work. I am so happy to be working with them.”
