Dazzling Delhi beauty Rakul Preet Singh after scoring a hit with Venkatadri Express never looked back and went on to become a top actress in Tollywood romancing all top stars.
Rakul speaking to scribes revealed that she missed romancing Young Rebel Star Prabhas in his super hit film Mr Perfect which released in 2011.
Rakul said, "I do not know why they removed me from Mr Perfect. But whatever happens, happens for the good. By that time I already starred in a film in Kannada. After the release of that film, I got many offers in Telugu. I was studying degree second year. My dad was working in the army. So I do not know much about films and that too unaware of south films. However, I was interested to become an actress. During that time I once met Puri Jagannadh. After Pokiri, he offered me a film. I told him "I am doing Maths honors. It is impossible for 60 days call sheet. Tell me if you have any roles which will require 10 days call sheet". I was not knowing that if you do small roles and cameos, there won't be any career. I was keen on getting pocket money".
Rakul continued, "During that time I got Mr Perfect. I do not know that it was a big film. They conducted a screen test and told me that they shortlisted me for Priya's role. Since I had exams in a week's time, I acted studying in the sets. However, the makers might have thought of repeating the Darling pair as the film turned out to be a hit. Or they might have felt not to take a risk with a newcomer. So they rejected me. I was shocked when they told me. However, if we do not face such challenges, we cannot come up in life".
Rakul added, "I later got an offer in Auto Nagar Surya. The makers took me as Samantha was not having the dates. But later when she adjusted the date, they replaced me. I got shocked for the second time. Later I concentrated on my studies. I went to Miss India competition in Degree third yaer. Later I decided to select films in a planned manner. Had they not removed me from two films, I wouldn't have realized the importance of films. Had I did Mr Prefect and scored a hit, I wouldn't have used the stardom perfectly".
