Rakul Preet Singh enrolled for medical classes for ‘Doctor G’

Rakul Preet Singh will be seen sharing screen space alongside Ayushmann Khurrana for the first time in Doctor G, also featuring Shefali Shah.

The makers have recently unveiled Rakul’s much-awaited first look from the movie. To essay an author-backed role and play the rooted character of Dr Fatima, Rakul had to learn medical terminology and also nuances of some important surgical procedures for this family entertainer, directed by Anubhuti Kashyap.

Says Rakul, “Since I play a doctor, the mannerisms and actions needed to be precise. It was mandatory to learn important things related to the medical world to make it look real on screen. We wanted Fatima to look authentic. We did multiple look tests to get her look right. By just wearing the doctor’s coat, you suddenly get a sense of responsibility even though I was only playing a character. While treating patients for scenes, one truly understands how much responsibility doctors have on their shoulders and how difficult their life is.”
