Doctor G: Rakul Preet Singh Is Ecstatic To Be A Part Of The Ayushmann Starrer; Can’t Wait To Start Shooting

It was recently reported that the gorgeous Rakul Preet Singh has been roped in to play the female lead in Ayushmann Khurrana’s upcoming film Doctor G. Directed by Anubhuti Kashyap, the social comedy drama marks Ayushmann’s third collaboration with Junglee Pictures after the super hit Bareilly Ki Barfi and National Award-winning Badhaai Ho. For the uninitiated, actress Mrunal Thakur was the first choice for the film. However, she had to opt out of the project after the dates clashed with her other project-- Ishaan Khatter’s Pippa.

Well, Mrunal’s loss is Rakul’s gain and the latter could not have been happier about bagging the film. In a chat with BT, Rakul shared, “I’m super excited to be a part of Doctor G. There are many firsts in this film for me, starting with my co-star Ayushmann. I am thankful to Junglee Pictures and director Anubhuti Kashyap for bringing us together. I was in love with the script from the time I heard it. It’s an interesting story, revolving around the medical profession and set in a campus. It will provide a new perspective to the audience. I can’t wait to start shooting for the film.”

While Ayushmann will be seen as Dr Uday Gupta, the only male gynaecologist in the whole department, Rakul will reportedly portray the character of a medical student named Dr Fatima, Ayushmann’s college senior. Well, we are quite excited to see this fresh jodi on the big screen!
