Hollywood actress Rachael Ann Mullins, who has worked in films like 'Her' and 'Neighbours', recently made her Bollywood debut with Shahrukh Khan's 'Pathaan'. In a recent media interaction, she shared that she had no idea about who Shahrukh Khan is prior to her casting in this project.

In a conversation with Hindustan Times, Rachael stated, “I knew nothing about Pathaan when I booked it. Not even the title, but when I saw Deepika Padukone's name on wardrobe trunks while I was shooting at the Yash Raj studio in Mumbai. I knew that this film was going to be very big. She's so incredibly gorgeous.”

Sharing that she didn't really know Shahrukh, the actress said, I'm going to catch some ire for this but I didn't know who he was until we worked together. One of the assistant directors explained that he was a big deal. We had a nice day together and it turns out we share the same birthday.”

When asked how Bollywood is different from Hollywood, Rachael stated, The production value and level of talent in individual people is the key difference between Hollywood and Bollywood. Everyone in Bollywood can sing, dance and act in equal measure. That is a real rarity in Hollywood. There are tons of labour laws in the union town of Hollywood but Bollywood doesn’t have such strict rules. Modern Bollywood is more like old Hollywood.
