Actress Rakul Preet Singh says she speaks Telugu better than
her mother tongue Punjabi and she would like to speak her own Telugu lines in
films.
"The one thing I'd really like to do in 2018 is to speak my own
lines on Telugu. Do you know I'm so fluent in Telugu now, I speak the language
better than I speak Punjabi. So far I've only dubbed my own lines for one Telugu
film," Rakul said.
But she doesn't want to talk about "Spyder", which was
shot in Telugu and Tamil simultaneously.
"I don't want to speak about
'Spyder'. Not because I am embarrassed about its under-performance. But it's
just not an experience I enjoyed. I did it for the pleasure of working with A.R.
Murugadoss Sir, and I'd do it again any time. But Sorry I really don't want to
say anything more about this," she said.
Is Rakul disappointed by the
male-dominated scripts in south Indian languages?
"Not the least. They
aren't all about the men. In fact, my other 2017 release 'Jaya Janaki Nayaka'
(Telugu film) featured me in a pivotal role," she said.
Telugu cinema
remains Rakul's first love.
"It's where I've discovered my love for the
camera. Trust me, I enjoy being in front of the camera more than anything else
in the world. I can spend as much as 12 hours on the sets, even more. It's the
only passion that I have," she said.
