Raashii Khanna stars with Pawan Kalyan

Actress Raashii Khanna, known for her roles in Aranmanai 4, Yodha, Telusu Kada and more, is all set to star in Harish Shankar’s Ustaad Bhagat Singh. The actress has shared some insights about the film and admitted that she signed the film without even reading the script.

In a recent interview with Hindustan Times, Raashii talked about the film and complimented her co-star, Pawan Kalyan.

She talked about her next film and 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.”

However, Raashii claims that after she started working on sets, she understood why Pawan was so well-known, describing his real-life persona as "larger than life."

“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.”

The actress added, “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.”

Besides Ustaad Bhagat Singh in Telugu, Raashii is gearing up for some more highly anticipated movies. She is set to portray 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 and a time travel film with R Madhavan.
