Rakul Preet Singh always open about her professional journey. Recently, she revealed that she was the first choice for the role Disha Patani played in MS Dhoni. The actress shared that due to scheduling conflicts, she had to back out of the project.
Rakul also admitted that she was heartbroken over losing the role and even cried after missing out on the opportunity.“It was the role which eventually Disha Patani played. I had done the costume and script reading, but then their dates shifted by a month, and I was shooting films with Ram Charan and Jr NTR… So, I couldn’t adjust the dates at all, and I cried that I missed out on such a good film,” she said in a conversation with Ranveer Allahbadia.
Released in 2016, M.S. Dhoni: The Untold Story featured Sushant Singh Rajput, Kiara Advani, Anupam Kher and Disha Patani in key roles. Directed by Neeraj Pandey, the movie is based on the life of former Indian cricket team captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni.
