Don t like to dwell on success or failure: Rakul Preet
Chennai Aug 29 (IANS) Actor Rakul Preet Singh who is on a career high with five hits in the last twelve months is happy about the current phase of her career but said she doesn t like to dwell too much on success or failure.
"Honestly I don t find this phase exciting because neither a hit makes me happy nor a flop makes me sad. It s difficult for me to get excited because I don t even know how to celebrate a hit. It s great that your work is getting recognized but I am always thinking about what I m doing next " Rakul told IANS.
Last year Rakul s three Telugu releases "Nannaku Prematho" "Sarrainodu" and "Dhruva" struck gold at the box office.
Although her first release of this year "Winner" turned out to be a dud she bounced back strongly with hits "Rarandoi Veduka Chuddam" and "Jaya Janaki Nayaka".
Instead of basking in momentary success her focus is on the longer run.
"I m happy that the last two years have been great. It s nice to know that people have been talking about my work. But all this dies down eventually. I m always thinking of what I can do in the longer run. I don t like to dwell too much on success or failure " she said.
Has this back-to-back success brought more pressure upon her?
"It s always there. People might say a lot of things about the kind of films I do. But I can only choose from what I get. I m lucky that the films that I chose in the recent past did very well. I ll continue picking the best from what I get. It also needs to be understood that a fate of a film is not in our hands " she added.
Asked if this successful phase has any impact on how she will approach an offer she said "It s always based on permutation and combination."
"Sometimes you sign a project because you want to work with a certain director. In the case of Spyder my next release I signed the film even before I heard the narration because of the combination. I have always wanted to work with Murugadoss sir and also with Mahesh Babu " she explained.
She is quite excited about the film due for release this Dussehra.
On the career front Rakul also has two Tamil projects "Dheeran Adhigaaram Ondru" and a yet-untitled film with Suriya in her kitty.
