Ritika Singh talks about Vettaiyan

When asked about her first day of shooting with Rajinikanth, the actress responded that she was ‘blank’ and had nothing going on in her mind when ‘Rajini sir’ was in front of her. She said, “I was blank that day. On the day of the shoot, I didn’t have any dialogues, only reactions, but even that was difficult because I was in Rajini sir’s presence, and it was a legendary moment.”

When asked about another role in the film she would like to play if given a chance, the actress instantly replied in a promotional video that she would choose Fahadh Faasil’s character, Patrick. She explained that the quirkiness of the character struck her and made her curious to know how she would have approached it. “Fafa sir’s character is quirky and fresh, something new, and I would like to see how I would do it,” she said.
