విజయ్ దేవరకొండ, రష్మిక ప్రధానపాత్రల్లో నటించిన చిత్రం 'గీత గోవిందం'. ఈ సినిమాలో ముందుగా రకుల్​ప్రీత్ సింగ్​ను హీరోయిన్​గా అనుకున్నారట. కానీ కొన్ని కారణాల వల్ల రకుల్​ ఈ ప్రాజెక్టుకు నో చెప్పింది.

ముందుగా గీత పాత్ర కోసం దర్శక, నిర్మాతలు కథానాయిక రకుల్‌ ప్రీత్‌ను సంప్రదించారట. అప్పటికే ఆమె హిందీ చిత్రం 'దే దే ప్యార్‌ దే'లో నటిస్తుండటం వల్ల డేట్స్‌ కుదరక ఈ ప్రాజెక్టును తిరస్కరించిందట. "ఎంత ప్రయత్నించినా.. 'గీత గోవిందం'లో నటించడం కుదరలేదు. ఈ అవకాశం కోల్పోయినందుకు బాధలేదు కానీ, నటించి ఉంటే బాగుండేది" అని ఓ ఇంటర్వ్యూలో చెప్పుకొచ్చింది రకుల్‌.

Los Angeles, California - 20 November 2019
1. Wide of attorney Lisa Bloom
2. SOUNDBITE (English) Lisa Bloom, Attorney for Victims suing Epstein's estate:
"For me, this is about justice for the victims. And one of the reasons why I represent five Jeffrey Epstein accusers and I'm talking to many more is because they want answers. I believe that they are entitled to full and fair compensation for their injuries, and we're fighting for that. But they also want to know what about all of the other people involved? And there have been a lot of theories about very high ranking people in this world being involved, being coconspirators, passing girls around, trafficking underage girls. And that's what's alleged here as to Prince Andrew. You know, years ago he was called Randy Andy by the British press, the Playboy prince. So we know he was fairly close with Jeffrey Epstein. He says their relationship was such that when he had to break it off after Epstein was a convicted sex offender, he felt that he needed to fly to New York and spend four days with him in order to say goodbye. That's a pretty close relationship. So I don't think it's much of a stretch to say that perhaps, you know, more was shared than just words between the two of them."

4. SOUNDBITE (English) Lisa Bloom, Attorney for Victims suing Epstein's estate:
"It's great that he's stepping away from his royal duties, but it's really not about that. It's about justice and accountability for the victims. So it's important that he says he's going to cooperate with law enforcement. He should also answer questions from all of the accusers' attorneys, especially the attorney for Virginia Roberts Giuffre, who has very significant claims against him. He should turn over any and all evidence. He has e-mails, texts, calendars, all the normal stuff that you turn over when you're in litigation. And he should have his staffers and security personnel also talk to law enforcement, because they could help us determine where he was when he was there and what they saw. So all of that is extremely important so we can get to the bottom of what happened."

6. SOUNDBITE (English) Lisa Bloom, Attorney for Victims suing Epstein's estate:
"It's a new age where we expect, at a minimum, compassion for the victims. And Prince Andrew didn't show that at all, even when he was asked. He just didn't show it. He didn't have it in him. And I think that's where he's been attacked the most. He also was terribly inconsistent on some of his statements, which make him look not credible. That's a problem because he's accused of sexual assault himself."

8. SOUNDBITE (English) Lisa Bloom, Attorney for Victims suing Epstein's estate:
"With Jeffrey Epstein's passing we're not going to get justice for him on the criminal side, but we are going to get justice for the victims on the civil side. And that's what I'm fighting for every day on behalf of my clients. But we have to know who else was involved, who knew what was going on and helped him. Who else molested underage girls or young women?
9. SOUNDBITE (English) Lisa Bloom, Attorney for Victims suing Epstein's estate:
"I think momentum is actually picking up since he died and that's because there's a little bit less fear on my clients' part. They still have fear because nobody wants to come forward in a high profile case and tell a story about being sexually abused, but at least they don't have to worry about Jeffrey Epstein coming after them."
10. SOUNDBITE (English) Lisa Bloom, Attorney for Victims suing Epstein's estate:
"We are definitely only scratching the surface, and Jeffrey Epstein travelled in the highest circles, not only in the US and in the UK, but around the world."
++EDIT ENDS ON SOUNDBITE++
STORYLINE:
Following days of turmoil that have damaged the British royal family's reputation, Prince Andrew announced on Wednesday that he would step back from public duties because of his association with a notorious American sex offender.
The second son of Queen Elizabeth II said in a statement that his ties to Jeffrey Epstein had become a "major disruption" to the royal family's charitable work. It was unclear whether the change was a temporary or permanent shift in his role.
"It's great that he's stepping away from his royal duties, but it's really not about that. It's about justice and accountability for the victims," said Lisa Bloom, who is California-based attorney representing some of the victims who are suing Epstein's estate.
"It's important that he says he's going to cooperate with law enforcement," she said during an interview with The Associated Press.
Andrew said he had obtained the queen's permission to step away. He also said he was willing to help any law enforcement agency with an investigation.
The scandal has rocked the royal family, particularly since a television interview on Saturday failed to ease the many questions about Andrew's links to Epstein.
The prince said he regretted his ties to the billionaire investor, who took his own life in August while in jail on sex-trafficking charges. Andrew said he "deeply sympathizes" with Epstein's victims, many of whom were underage victims of trafficking.
