One more film and Rakul Preet Singh may as well celebrate her 'dus ka dum'!

The gorgeous actress has signed up as many as nine films, which are in various stages of production.

And all the projects see Rakul opposite some of India's biggest actors.

Joginder Tuteja lists the leading men in Rakul's career!

 

Akshay Kumar, Cinderella

After pairing up with Ajay Devgn in De De Pyaar De, Rakul will be seen opposite yet another older superstar, Akshay Kumar.

Though an official announcement of her presence in Cinderella -- an adaptation of the Tamil film Ratsasan -- is yet to be made, she seems to have bagged a part in this thriller.

Don't expect any heavy duty romance in this Ranjit Tiwari film, since it's more about a chase between a cop and a killer.

 

John Abraham, Attack

Yet another thriller, Attack is an action show all the way with John Abraham.

This is the first time that Rakul would be seen opposite John though one wonders if the Lakshya Raj Anand directorial has any scope for romance.

Jacqueline Fernandez stars in this too.

 

Sidharth Malhotra, Thank God

Though she was seen in a special appearance in the Sidharth Malhotra starrer Marjaavaan, Rakul will be seen in a proper role in his next film, Thank God.

A family comedy, this also features Ajay Devgn in a key role.

Directed by Indra Kumar, the film went on the floors last year.

 

Ajay Devgn, May Day

Rakul will be seen with Devgn once again in May Day, an action drama.

The film, also directed by Devgn, stars Amitabh Bachchan as well.

Playing a medical student, Rakul will be seen in a light-hearted avatar in Doctor G.

Ayushmann reportedly plays a gynecologist in this film.

Anubhuti Kashyap steps in as director.

 

Sivakarthikeyan, Ayalaan

A sci-fi action thriller that went on the floors in 2018, Ayalaan is a passion project for its team.

Sivakarthikeyan, who has been active in the South industry for close to a decade, has Rakul playing his lady love.

Rakul has achieved the perfect balance between her films in Bollywood and those down south.

 

Kamal Haasan, Indian 2

There's all sorts of trouble surrounding the much anticipated sequel to Indian, but it's certainly going to be a big deal for Rakul.

Indian 2 went on the floors quite some time ago, but it is currently on hold due to a dispute between the makers.

Indian had Manisha Koirala and Urmila Matondkar as the leading ladies opposite the much younger Kamal Haasan in 1996.

The superstar returns as an older man in the sequel, one waits to see what Rakul and Kajal Aggarwal bring to the table.

 

Vaishnav Tej, Konda Polam

One film old Vaishnav Tej will be seen soon in the adventure drama, Konda Polam. He made quite an impression in the box office success Uppena that released earlier this year.

The film is being directed by Krish Jagarlamudi of Gabbar Is Back and Manikarnika: The Queen of Jhansi fame.

 

October 31st Ladies Night

There aren't any leading men in the suspense thriller October 31st Ladies Night.

Rakul will have Nivetha Pethuraj, Manjima Mohan, Megha Akash and Reba Monica John for company in this film directed by Vijay of Thalaivi fame.
