Rajkummar has come a long way in his career and is now leading films of big production houses. Being a person from a non-filmy family background, Rajkummar had to struggle to bag the projects, but thankfully, now, he looks very much settled in Bollywood. Looking back, the actor recently talked about losing a film to a star kid, which left him with a feeling of things being unfair.

Ahead of the release of Mr and Mrs Mahi, Rajkummar Rao had a fun conversation with his co-star Janhvi Kapoor and producer Karan Johar. The video of the same is available on Dharma Productions’ YouTube channel. Discussing the insider versus outsider debate, Karan said, “Sometimes they are using it as a tool to make headlines. Immensely successful people are saying, ‘Oh I felt victimised like an oustider and lost opportunity to a star kid’. Somebody is saying, ‘I didn’t attend a party so I didn’t get a role.’ I don’t know at which party there has been transactions for films.”
