‘Chhatriwali’ not just about safe sex, very ‘holistic film’, says Rakul Preet Singh

The trailer for Rakul Preet Singh’s ‘Chhatriwali’ is out and it features the actress attempting to educate people about safe sex and the importance of contraceptives. She will be seen playing the role of a quality control head at a condom factory in ‘Chhatriwali’. Speaking about the premise of the film, Rakul says the movie is “not just about safe sex but also about the health issues that women face due to lack of safe sex.”
She said, “‘Chhatriwali’ is not just about safe sex but also about the health issues that women face due to lack of safe sex. The film also talks about the importance of education. There is an important line in the film that ‘Agar sikhenge to galti carne se bachenge’ and that at the right age is very important. So, it’s a very holistic film, and once you see the film, you’ll see why it’s different.”
Talking about her character, the actor had earlier said in a statement, “I hope this character inspires others to find their voice and speak up against unsafe sex and the many health implications of not using protection. India’s youth make up for majority of the population and educating them on safe sex and sex education is the need of the hour, so I am glad that Chhatriwali is catering to them and everyone else in a progressive and entertaining manner.”
‘Chhatriwali’ also stars Sumeet Vyas and Satish Kaushik in pivotal roles. Rakul had a great time shooting with Sumeet and Satish. She said, “My experience working with everyone on this film was amazing. Everyone was extremely passionate about the subject. The entire shoot went like a breeze. There was a lot of improvisation done and if you ask me to sum it up it was a fun shoot.”
‘Chhatriwali’ will stream on ZEE5 from January 20, 2023.
