Rakul Preet Singh, who worked with filmmaker Sukumar in the forthcoming Telugu release "Nannaku Prematho", said the experience helped her discover the actor within and perform beyond her own expectations.
"Working with Sukumar was amazing. He's someone who trusts his actors and allows them to experiment with dialogues and scenes. When you're working with him, you learn a lot subconsciously and that helped me in discovering the actor within," the former model told media.
Rakul believes she has given her career's most natural performance in the film. "Sukumar comes from a very different school of working style. He never shoots with set dialogues and scenes. Most of it is improvised on the spot. He'd tell me, 'Rakul, if this is your character, how would you behave? Show me'," she said.
Paired with actor Jr. NTR for the first time, Rakul plays the daughter of a multi-billionaire in the film. "It's a character I haven't played before, so there was no reference to it. The testing part was to look believable in the role, because unlike any other character, a billionaire's daughter carries herself very differently, be it the way she dresses or even walks," she said.
She is currently shooting for Allu Arjun-starrer Telugu actioner "Sarainodu". She will next team up with Nithiin for a yet-untitled project in the language.
