Patralekha says director Hansal Mehta and filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt didn’t cast her in “Citylights” because of her relationship with actor Rajkummar Rao.
Do you think that Mahesh Bhatt sahib and Hansal Mehta will cast me because I am in a relationship? Of course not. You can’t take that credit away from them. Hansal Mehta sir will never compromise with his work.
I will suggest please go and watch the film then everybody will realise I didn’t get the film because I am dating Rajkummar Rao.
Talking about her relationship with the “Shahid” actor, she said:
I know him since a couple of years. So, there is nothing to talk about it. I am 24 and he is 28. So, we are bound to be in a relationship and that’s it.
When asked if she feels this is the perfect launch for her, Patralekha said:
First thing is that Mahesh Bhatt sahib is launching me. What more can I ask for? Rajkummar is in the film so, I got confidence. Besides, I am not from this industry. So, for what do I wait? I am happy and excited for this.
“Citylights” is an adaptation of British film “Metro Manila“.
[…] It was reported that her proximity with her co-star Rajkummar helped her bag the role in the film. […]
