Huge responsibility to shoulder a film': Rakul Preet Singh on headlining Chhatriwali

The Delhi-born actor, known for starring in Hindi movies 'De De Pyaar De', 'Attack', 'Runway 34' and titles from the south such as "Sarrainodu", 'Dhruva' and 'Spyder', is playing the central character in the upcoming social comedy "Chhatriwali".

In the film, directed by Tejas Prabha Vijay Deoskar, she plays the quality control head of a condom factory. The movie is backed by Ronnie Screwvala's banner RSVP.

"I feel it is a huge responsibility when a film is shouldered upon you. It is the trust of the team that lies upon you, that in itself, is a big boosterShe believes female-centric movies are a result of evolution in writing as well as the audience's openness to diverse stories.

"As years progress, more and more female-centric films are being written. My peers or actors younger than me, like Jahnvi (Kapoor), Sara (Ali Khan) and others are doing female-led films because the writing has evolved. Also, the audiences are ready to watch them," she added.

With 'Chhatriwali', Rakul said her endeavour is to reach out to a wider audience.
