On June 23, 2025, in Mumbai, actress Chitrangada Singh, who starred in Housefull 5, talked about her tough time filming Raat Akeli Hai 2. The director, Honey Trehan, made her do 28 retakes for a single shot, which she had never done before. Usually, she gets a good shot by her second or third try, but this role was very hard. She called Trehan a director who asks for a lot, but she’s happy because the extra work helped her become a better actress. Her performance in the movie got much stronger because of it.
Love for True Stories
Chitrangada said she loves movies based on real-life stories or events. She thinks these films are important because they entertain, inspire, and show people new things. She’s especially excited about biopics, which are movies about real people’s lives, because they spark her creativity as an actress.
Thoughts on Deepika Padukone’s Work Issue
Chitrangada was asked about rumors that actress Deepika Padukone left a film project with director Sandeep Reddy Vanga because of an 8-hour work shift limit. She said work hours depend on what the actor, director, and producer agree on. Sometimes, movies have problems like short deadlines or small budgets. In the film world, “time is money,” so everyone needs to understand these limits. Chitrangada didn’t want to judge Deepika’s decision, saying every actor can choose what’s right for them. She praised Deepika as a big star who has the right to make her own choices.
