Rajkummar Rao: “Yes, I’m A Greedy Actor & Would Want The Most Impactful Part In A Story”

Trust Rajkummar Rao to embody a character to the fullest extent and he never disappoints. The powerhouse performer’s sole criterion for signing on a film is that his role in it should be challenging and impactful. Being an FTII alumnus, Rajkummar has quite the penchant for compelling narratives.

Says Rajkummar Rao, “I really don’t see anything else, and when you do that, it isn’t necessary that you will get the lead role. Yes, I’m a greedy actor, too, and would love to do the most impactful part in a story. But, I know that it might not happen every time. So, when you don’t get that, you don’t stop working. The idea is to make the character I’m portraying as impactful as possible.”

The versatile actor began his journey in Indian cinema on the sheer strength of his talent. Rajkummar got noticed by the biggest filmmakers of the country after he repeatedly proved his acting mettle. He humbly remarks, “I know how I’ve reached where I’m today. So every time I feel otherwise, I go back to my journey, to my roots, and my heart is immediately filled with gratitude.”
