In a podcast with Ranveer Allahabadia, Rakul shared that the shooting schedule for the biopic was delayed by a month, causing a clash with her commitments to films starring Ram Charan and Jr NTR.
“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. Bruce Lee: The Fighter was about to release in a month and two songs were yet to be shot. So, I couldn’t adjust the dates at all, and I cried that I missed out on such a good film,” she said.

During the conversation, Rakul also revealed that she had been replaced in two Telugu films starring Prabhas. Before her debut in Venkatadri Express, she was originally supposed to appear in other films with Prabhas. While she didn’t initially let it affect her, she later wondered if it had created a false perception of her having a “bad attitude.”
MS Dhoni: The Untold Story starred SSR as Mahendra Singh Dhoni and showcased his journey from a budding cricketer to winning the World Cup for India. The film also featured Kiara Advani, Anupam Kher, Bhumi Pednekar, and others in important roles.
Recently, Rakul appeared in Indian 2 alongside Kamal Haasan. Directed by S Shankar, the film is the much-awaited sequel to the 1996 hit Indian. However, it didn’t replicate the success of the original.
