You see Rakul Preet Singh in the news again, this time after De De Pyaar De 2 failed to impress audiences. Many fans called the Ajay Devgn film a letdown. The disappointment has brought old conversations back about how her career has shifted over the years.
In a recent interview, Rakul spoke clearly about the failures that shaped her journey. When asked which project hurt her the most, she did not hesitate. She pointed to Spyder, the 2017 film where she acted with Mahesh Babu.
She told you that before Spyder, she had already delivered eight to ten successful films. She had worked with stars like Ram Charan and Jr. NTR. At that point in her career, she felt stable and confident about where she was heading.
When she signed Spyder, she expected something big. The film had AR Murugadoss as director and Mahesh Babu as the lead. She genuinely believed the combination would lead to a massive success and push her career to another level.
After the film failed, reality hit hard. Rakul admitted she had no control once the film released. She said she learned to accept the outcome and move forward, even when the damage to her career felt unavoidable and painful.
Fans now discuss how deeply Spyder affected her position in South cinema. Many feel she never recovered the same momentum. Her later choices failed to bring her back to the place she once held in the industry.
Rakul also spoke about the difference between South cinema and Bollywood. She said actors in the South industry support each other more openly. In contrast, she felt Bollywood has grown insecure and less united in recent times.
She added that if Bollywood changes its mindset, the industry can grow much stronger. However, some viewers do not agree with her view. They believe she is avoiding accountability and blame her own performance choices for her career slowdown.
