Raashii Khanna is all set to share screen with Telugu superstar Pawan Kalyan for their upcoming movie, Ustaad Bhagat Singh. The actress, who is set to appear in the big-budget movie, recently shared that she signed the film without even reading the script as she don’t want to miss the opportunity to work with Kalyan. Not only that, Raashii acknowledged that the movie belonged to the actor and she was only playing a part in it.
In an interview with Hindustan Times, Raashii Khanna said, “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..”
The actress further 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,” Khanna also mentioned. Ustaad Bhagat Singh also features Sreeleela, Temper Vamsi, Koushik Mahata and Gautami in key roles. It is expected to be released in 2026.
Apart from Ustaad Bhagat Singh, Raashii will also be seen in Farhan Akhtar’s 120 Bahadur. She said, “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.”
When asked about the second season of 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.”
