In Rahul Rawail's ensemble comedy Buddha Mar Gaya which starts shooting on Jan 25, Rakhi has been cast in a tailor-made role that requires no oomph, only chutzpah.
Says Rawail, "I was hunting for a girl to play this this zany liberated frank and fearless girl called Kim in my comedy. No one seemed to fill bill...until I saw Rakhi on Bigg Boss. I loved her spirit and honesty in the show. I immediately decided to cast her."
Rakhi who will join the ensemble cast comprising Om Puri, Paresh Rawal, Anupam Kher (who plays a corpse!) and Mobhano Modi- Kotwal, had no inhibitions about being inhibited for the first time.
Says Rahul, 'Rakhi has no item songs, no strip-tease element to provide in Buddha Mar Gaya. I'm glad I found her to play the role. I can't think of anyone better," says Rawail who's excited about working with a cast that doesn't require him to look anxiously over his shoulder at the boxoffice.
