Rakul Preet Singh reveals she ‘cried’ after losing M.S. Dhoni: The Untold Story to Disha Patani: ‘I had done costume and script reading…’

As a lifestyle expert reflecting on the fascinating journey of Bollywood actors, I find myself often marveling at the serendipitous twists and turns that define their careers. The tale of Rakul Preet Singh, a star who has gracefully navigated through the ups and downs of showbiz, is one such captivating narrative.


The film “M.S. Dhoni: The Untold Story,” starring Sushant Singh Rajput, was a significant hit at the box office, altering the careers of all those involved. This transformation extended to actress Disha Patani, who portrayed SSR’s love interest on screen. Interestingly, the role initially belonged to Rakul Preet Singh, as she had already prepared for it; however, the part ultimately went to Patani instead.

On Ranveer Allahabadia’s YouTube channel, Rakul shared a memory: “I had already prepared for the costume and script, but unfortunately their shooting schedule got pushed back by a month. At that time, I was busy working with Ram Charan and Jr NTR on other films. The movie ‘Bruce Lee: The Fighter’ was set to release in just a month, and there were still two songs left to be filmed. As a result, I couldn’t reschedule my dates at all, and I was deeply disappointed because I felt I had missed out on such a great opportunity.

The movie titled “Dhoni – The Untold Story” is a biopic detailing the life journey of the former Indian cricket team captain, Mahendra Singh Dhoni. This film was masterminded by director Neeraj Pandey, who also assembled an impressive cast consisting of Kiara Advani, Anupam Kher, Kumud Mishra, Bhumi Pednekar, Brijendra Kala, and others in pivotal roles.

Rakul first appeared in the Kannada film “Gilli,” and later made her Bollywood entrance with Divya Khosla Kumar’s “Yaariyan” alongside Himansh Kohli. Since then, she has been featured in numerous hit movies such as “Aiyaary,” “Shimla Mirchi,” “Attack,” “Runway 34,” “Cuttputlli,” “Doctor G,” “Thank God,” “Chhatriwali,” and “I Love You.

In the same conversation, Rakul Preet Singh openly discussed how nepotism had cost her numerous roles, but surprisingly, it didn’t sour her feelings at all. The actress went on to say that if one day her children needed assistance, she would extend the same help, as a parent, she’s worked tirelessly for this very purpose.

As a lifestyle advocate, I find myself in a situation where movies have been removed from my repertoire, but instead of dwelling on bitterness, I choose to see it as a path not meant for me. Tomorrow brings new opportunities, and I am determined to seize them. For a moment, I may feel the sting of disappointment, but then I shake it off and press forward. Life is full of ups and downs, and embracing this reality helps us grow and progress more swiftly.

Singh will be next seen in the sequel of her 2019 hit film De De Pyaar De.
