Raashii Khanna Signed Ustaad Bhagat Singh Without Reading Script: 'It's Pawan Kalyan's Film, I'm A Part'

Actress Raashii Khanna will soon be seen in Ustaad Bhagat Singh. She will share the screen with superstar Pawan Kalyan, marking a milestone moment in her career. She recently revealed that she signed the film

without even reading the script, just so she could work with Pawan Kalyan. She acknowledged that the film belonged to the actor and she was only playing a part in it.

Raashii told the Hindustan Times, “This is the only film I signed without hearing the script. I said okay because it’s Pawan garu’s film. I have always wanted to work with him due to the sheer scale of stardom he brings. I know it’s his film and that I’m a part of it. I’m okay with it. Because sometimes you do these commercial films for the scale and the reach.”

As for working with Pawan Kalyan, she said, “I love the fact that he’s very respectful towards women. The other thing is the love he has for people in general. I also realised that beneath all that, he’s such a larger-than-life man, who’s a very good actor.”

“His comic timing is superb, and I saw these small things on set that I was amazed by. I don’t think he knows how big he is. It’s the first time I was starstruck on a set. I felt nervous due to his aura,” the actress mentioned.

Besides Ustaad Bhagat Singh, Raashii will also be seen in Farhan Akhtar’s 120 Bahadur. She has an exciting lineup of films ahead. “I play a Marwari-Rajasthani woman in 120 Bahadur with Farhan Akhtar, a Punjabi cop in an upcoming series, a Bengali girl in Talaakhon Mein Ek with Vikrant Massey, a time travel film with R Madhavan…basically a lot of variation,” the actress said, reflecting on her upcoming work.

When asked about the second season of Shahid Kapoor’s Farzi, she said, “We will be shooting for it at the beginning of next year, but I don’t know much yet.” “The script has yet to reach my hands, so I’m as curious as you are,” the actress concluded.
