Rajkummar Rao has got everything falling in to right place for him, which was not the case when he had entered the film industry eight years back. He says he's glad people now know that he can't just be associated with intense roles. A bit of fun, entertainment and a lot of talent are the things now synonymous with Rajkummar Rao.
After his last release, Fanney Khan, with Anil Kapoor and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, the actor now is gearing up for the release of Stree, with Shraddha Kapoor. The film is a horror comedy and has got its trailer and other promos liked by the audience.
Rajkummar has started the promotions for the film, which means he is talking about not just the film, but also the other things in life. Like, the change that he has brought in people's perception about him.
The actor talked to a leading daily and said that he likes to work with the new directors because he shares a combine passion with them. He said, "I think it’s mainly the thought process that has matched. Before 2017, not many senior filmmakers approached me. It’s changing now. Today, I’m getting to work with some reputed directors too. I’m happy about that, but I’ve no qualms about working with new directors too. They come with a new energy and vision. It’s fun to explore a script with them".
He also said that while he has showed his dancing skills in the song Milenge Milenge from Stree, he is now keen to explore a film which gives him an opportunity to do martial arts on-screen. Rajkummar said, "I love dancing, but I haven’t really had too many opportunities to do so. Back in Gurgaon, I started my stage career with dance and martial arts. Dance has happened, now I am waiting for martial arts to happen (smiles). I think earlier the perception was such that people thought Raj is someone who only does intense roles, but thankfully things are changing now. It’s fun to surprise your audience. Also, the character that I am playing is a lot of fun..."
Directed by Amar Kaushik, Stree is hitting the screens on August 31.
