Speaking with Zoom, Rakul revealed that she wanted to go beyond what she has already done in her 17-year career. She began acting in South films and made her Bollywood debut in 2014 with Yaariyan. Rakul stated, “My endeavour next is to be able to find scripts that are equally challenging so that I don't disappoint my audiences. I'd like to work with everyone I've not worked with.”
The actress said, “There's Ranveer who I'm a fan of, whom I've not worked with. I'd love to work with Sanjay Leela Bhansali, sir, of course. I'd love to work with Shah Rukh sir. There are just so many people I'd love to work with. And more than that, I'd just love to work with as many people, whoever I've not worked with.”
