Rakul not putting on weight, director clarifies

Rakul Preet Singh has slimmed down. She is looking too lean these days. Given the fact that South Indian audiences like chubby heroines over slim ones, media assumed that Rakul would be putting on weight for her role in Nagarjuna’s ‘Manmadhudu 2’.

However, her director has slammed the reports. Rahul Ravindran who is directing ‘Manmadhudu 2’ said she looks stunning how she is now. She has not been asked to gain kilos, he stresses.

“Contrary to some rumours, Rakul has been shooting with us from day one of the Portuguese schedule. We have all been gushing non-stop about how stunning she’s looking and thanking our lucky stars that we got her. What an incredible talent she is,” he tweeted.

Currently the film’s shoot is progressing in Portugal.
