It has been a busy year so far for Rakul Preet Singh who packed in three releases. For the actor, her next, Doctor G, is both — the most exciting project and the one that demanded the most prep. As she joined Ayushmann Khurrana to play a gynaecology student in the social comedy, getting a basic understanding of the stream of medicine was a must. “I was excited to play this part because it required me to understand the world of gynaecology better. I had to know the tools and terms.
So, we had a gynaecologist on the set who would walk us through it, and help us get the terminology right,” says Singh. The prep for debutant director Anubhuti Kashyap’s offering, also starring Shefali Shah, extended to diction training. “I had to speak clear Lucknowi Hindi. I had to prep to make sure my diction is on point. I loved that Dr Fatima [her character] is a sassy and bold woman of today.”
