Gorgeous Rakul Preet Singh will soon be seen in a Telugu movie,
Manmadhudu 2 opposite Nagarjuna Akkineni. The makers of the movie lately
released a new teaser to introduce Rakul's character Avantika and it went viral
in no time. The teaser sees Rakul as Avantika in a free-spirited role. While a
section of the viewers loved Rakul's role in the teaser, others took offence to
a few bold scenes, one of them shows Rakul Preet smoking a cigarette. But, not
only Rakul but also director Rahul Ravindran and his singer wife Chinmayi
Sripaada were trolled for being double standards.
On trolling for smoking scene, Rakul Preet responded,
"I don't really get bothered by trolls. I think logo ka kaam hai kehna,
kuch toh log kahenge. We are playing characters, now whether it is Kabir Singh,
if Shahid is smoking in the film it does not make him a smoker. No way he is
promoting smoking. He is playing a character Arjun Reddy that is flawed and he
does those things. In real life Shahid Kapoor is a vegetarian, we all know
that. People should disassociate to what we are playing onscreen is different
and it is a story of that one person...we are not putting the entire girl clan
into girls not showing in the right way. That's not happening. It is that one
character Avantika that smokes and it's her story. Once you see the film,
people will know why she does. Treat it like the character...For me, it was
something different. I really don't pay attention to trolls...there are bigger
and better things to do."
