Telugu actress Raashii Khanna, who was last seen in ‘Telusu Kada’, is all set to star in Harish Shankar’s action entertainer ‘Ustaad Bhagat Singh’. Recently, Raashii revealed why she joined the project without even going through the script — and the answer lies entirely in her desire to work with Power Star Pawan Kalyan.
A Dream Opportunity With Pawan Kalyan
Speaking to Hindustan Times, Raashii explained:
“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.”
She acknowledged that the movie would primarily cater to Pawan Kalyan’s massive fanbase but emphasized that she was happy to be part of it:
“I know it’s his film and that I’m a part of it. I’m okay with it. Sometimes you do these commercial films for the scale and the reach.”
Starstruck on Set
Raashii Khanna shared her experience on the sets of ‘Ustaad Bhagat Singh’, praising Pawan Kalyan for his humility and charisma:
“He’s a larger-than-life man and a very good actor. I love that he’s very respectful towards women. The love he has for people is incredible. Beneath all that, he’s a phenomenal actor and has amazing comic timing. I was starstruck for the first time on a set — his aura is so powerful that it made me nervous.”
Other Upcoming Projects
Raashii also offered a quick update on ‘Farzi 2’, co-starring Shahid Kapoor:
“We will be shooting at the beginning of next year. I don’t know much yet — the script hasn’t reached me, so I’m as curious as the fans.”
The actress will also be seen in upcoming projects like ‘120 Bahadur’ alongside Farhan Akhtar and ‘Talaakhon Mein Ek’ with Vikrant Massey, further highlighting her versatility across Hindi and Telugu cinema.
With ‘Ustaad Bhagat Singh’ marking her first collaboration with Pawan Kalyan, fans are eager to see the duo share the screen, promising a high-octane cinematic experience.
