Rakul Preet Singh opens up on playing a doctor's role in 'Doctor G'

Rakul Preet Singh is all set to star in the upcoming film Doctor G opposite Ayushmann Khurrana. The campus drama has Ayushmann and Rakul playing the role of doctors. The makers of the film recently unveiled that Rakul Preet Singh will play the role of Dr. Fatima. Even though it is just a character, Rakul Preet still felt a sense of responsibility after wearing the doctor's coat. She recently revealed her experience of working in the film and how the makers wanted Fatima to be.

As per a report by ANI, the makers of the film wanted Fatima to look authentic. It required several look tests on the Yaariyaan actor. She said, "We wanted Fatima to look authentic. We did multiple look tests to get her to look right. The idea was for her to look as real as possible and bring out the endearing quality of her character. 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".
