Rakul Preet Singh has had- and continues to have- a very packed 2022. As many as seven releases starring her are her work for the year, and she has no fear of being overexposed.

Actor Rakul Preet Singh was seen recently in the film Runway 34.

“Not really. Honestly, none of us can really plan. We will think three releases, four releases, whatever we want… and then suddenly Covid happened. All of us were sitting at home, with Nature telling us ‘you’re basically nothing’. I am a person who knows we can’t really plan much. We can only give our 100 percent, with the right intention towards work. We do not bother about what we do because the result is not in our hands,” she says.

So far, Attack and Runway 34, both have released in theatres. Lined up next are Doctor G, Thank God, Chhatriwaali, among others. “I feel it’s a great year. There have been three years of the pandemic, work not coming out, shooting in and out of that situation, so this is finally light at the end of the tunnel. It’s great to shoot. I am starting my next this month, in another 15-20 days,” Singh shares.

As for the collections, she adds, “We of course expected the film to do better, but these are such unfortunate times. There are so many good films, even on OTT. There was not one person who watched Runway in theatres (and didn’t like it). People who saw it, loved it. Unfortunately, these are unprecedented times, we don’t know what’s going to work in theatres, there are so many films releasing every day. So many factors contribute to the performance of a film, but I will always be proud of this one.”

He writes for HT City, keeping pace with an industry where news cycles expire long before the popcorn gets cold. He completed his graduation in English Honours from Kirori Mal College, followed by a Master’s degree in English Literature-effectively training his brain to over-analyse classic texts before applying those exact same skills to 3-hour Bollywood blockbusters. He got into the profession when he had barely graduated from college and has been at HT ever since. At HT, Rishabh reviews films with a simple rule: skip the dense academic jargon and get straight to the point. Beyond reviews, as Assistant Editor, he helps navigate the broader circus of showbiz, tracking everything from OTT shifts to sudden box office panics. In a beat driven by loud PR machinery and carefully scripted answers, Rishabh prefers cutting through the noise to focus on how stories get made and why trends shift. When he isn’t writing against a deadline, he is usually sitting in a dark theater, compulsively memorising dialogues. For Rishabh, analysing movies isn't just a day job- it’s a habit he couldn't turn off even if he tried.
