The Ramayana trailer was released a few days ago, and it instantly went viral on social media. From Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Rama to Sai Pallavi as Sita, many on the internet debated on the look of the characters as well as the scale of the epic adaptation. But if there was one highlight from the trailer that took everyone by surprise, it was Rakul Preet Singh's glimpse as Surpanakha. Her look from the film as well as her performance received a very good response. (Also read: Ramayana trailer: Ranbir Kapoor vows to fulfil his duty as Lord Rama, Yash terrifies as Ravana. Watch)
Rakul replies to open letter
Now, a fan has penned an open letter to the actor, wishing her all the best for the film's release this Diwali. The fan also asked why the actor was interested in playing such a ‘misunderstood character’ in the first place. Surpanakha, Ravana's sister, triggers the story's main conflict. She falls in love with Lord Rama but is rejected by him and his brother, Lakshmana. She then tries to attack Sita, and ultimately gets her nose cut off.
The letter caught Rakul's attention, and she reposted it on her X account with a note. It read, "Thank you for this beautiful letter. What made me say yes to Surpanakha was exactly what you mentioned - her complexity. History often remembers her for one moment, but there is so much more to her story. As an actor, roles that challenge perception are the most exciting. I hope audiences discover her with an open mind when Ramayana arrives. (folded hands emoticon)"
