Rakul Preet Singh on being replaced from Dhoni biopic

Rakul recalled that after the shooting schedule of MS Dhoni biopic shifted by a month, her dates collided with films of Ram Charan and Jr NTR, which she had signed earlier. She stated that, “It was the role which eventually Disha Patani played. I had done the costume and script reading, but then their dates shifted by a month, and I was shooting films with Ram Charan and Jr NTR. Bruce Lee: The Fighter was about to release in a month and two songs were yet to be shot. So, I couldn’t adjust the dates at all, and I cried that I missed out on such a good film.”
