Rajkummar Rao Turns Aside His Reticence To Chat With Anuradha Choudhary About Life, Relationship And Career Choices

There's something about Rajkummar Rao that makes you want to be on his team pronto.

You want to be his cheerleader.

Maybe it's that gentle smile that lights up his face, his easy demeanour or his willingness to engage in casual conversation that does the trick.

Whatever it is, his niceness shines through.

He remains unsullied by the industry, which is an achievement in itself. What's more Rajkummar Rao has emerged as the powerhouse of talent, of versatility. If there's one thing he knows for sure, it's how to galvanise the screen. Whether it's intense dramas or quirky comedies, he seamlessly slips into every role; just like that. Honestly, Rajkummar Rao makes acting look so easy like it's child's play. He's the reason there are so many pretty faces pretending to be actors. He makes them believe everyone can act, like he can... ha! It's a measure of his range, his craft that he convinces you whether he's playing a small town saree salesman in Bareilly Ki Barfi, an anti hero in Monica O My Darling, an inspector coming to terms with his caste identity in Bheed, a gay man involved in a lavender marriage in Badhaai DO or a novice gangster in Guns & Gulaabs his performances leave an indelible mark earning him critical acclaim and a loyal audience. He pushes the envelope with every outing and everything he does merits a watch. Right now, he's flying high. His Guns & Gulaabs has been received well. Bheed too has lived up to expectations... and he's all set to bedazzle the screen playing a visually-impaired entrepreneur Srikanth Bolla in Srikanth. Right now, he can't seem to put a wrong foot forward. And more power to him... Presenting excerpts from a freewheeling chat with the actor par excellence.
