Filmmaker Rahul Ravindran has rubbished rumours that claimed that Rakul Preet Singh hasn’t joined the sets of Manmadhudu 2 in Portugal since she has been asked to gain weight for her role. Manmadhudu 2 stars Nagarjuna and Rakul Preet in lead roles.
On Thursday, Rahul took to Twitter to clarify and he wrote: “Contrary to some rumours, Rakul has been shooting with us from day one of the Portuguese schedule. We have all been gushing non-stop about how stunning she’s looking and thanking our lucky stars that we got her. What an incredible talent she is.”
Manmadhudu 2 had its launch ceremony last month. The event was attended Nagarjuna’s wife Amala Akkineni and son Naga Chaitanya.

This is Rahul’s second directorial project. He made his debut as a director last year with Telugu romantic drama Chi La Sow, which was bankrolled by Nagarjuna’s Annapurna Studios.
Last seen on screen in Telugu multi-starrer Devadas alongside Nani, Nagarjuna will sport a really different look in Manmadhudu 2 which will hit the screens later this year. Nagarjuna had recently signed Dhanush’s second directorial project. He was roped in to play a pivotal role. However, rumours have emerged that the project has been shelved and Nagarjuna will use the dates he had set aside for this project for Manmadhudu 2.
