Rakul Preet Singh portrays the quality control head of a condom factory in her next movie, ‘Chhatriwali,’ and says the film tries to “destigmatize” the debate around the usage of protection in a subtle, humorous way. Tejas Prabha Vijay Deoskar is the director of the film.

‘Chhatriwali’ wrapped production in December and is presently in post-production.

“In the film, I play a small-town girl, who happens to stumble upon this job and like anybody, looks down upon it but realizes that this conversation is the need of the hour. The conversation around the use of protection must destigmatize. We have ads for protection, so why not a film? That was the thought,” Singh told PTI.

‘Chhatriwali’ portrays its narrative in a family-friendly manner, according to the actor, who recently acted in Ajay Devgn’s ‘Runway 34.’
“We are not preaching to anyone, it is a slice of life family film, without any scene where you might feel awkward. It is a dialogue that needs to be had and we are having it in a subtle, entertaining way. We are not trying to teach anyone a lesson or be preachy. we have this dialogue through the character’s journey,” she added.

Ayushmann Khurrana’s university comedy-drama ‘Doctor G,’ Indra Kumar’s ‘Thank God,’ alongside Sidharth Malhotra, and Akshay Kumar’s ‘Mission Cinderella’ are among the flicks in which the 31-year-old actor will appear.

Singh claims that her upcoming slate is an attempt to demonstrate her diversity to the public and producers.

“I play a gynecologist in ‘Doctor G’, which is a fantastic script. Then there is the film with Akshay sir which will feature me in a different space. As these films come, I want them to get appreciated. All that I am looking at is to get more opportunities, have more makers believe in me, and do a wide variety of roles,” she added.
