Rakul Preet Singh made her acting debut in 2009 with the Kannada film Gilli and later ventured into the Hindi film industry in 2014 with Yaariyan. Asked if working in the southern film industry was always the plan for her or was it a stepping stone towards Bollywood, Rakul told IANS, "No, the southern industry was not the plan for me, neither was Bollywood. Firstly, films weren't."
The 28-year-old actress said she knew she "wanted to act", but she "didn't know how". "I didn't know much about the south industry and neither did I know about Hindi. I shot Yaariyan and then my first film in Telugu. I shot for that film, and that went on to become a success and the rest is history. After that, I signed on a bunch of south Indian films - Telugu films. I just continued working there for seven to eight projects because they were great opportunities," she added.
