In the initial stages of his career, Rajkummar Rao faced numerous obstacles. He was often overlooked for lead roles due to the industry’s narrow perception of what an actor should look like. Despite these rejections, Rao remained determined and continued to pursue his passion.
Rao recently addressed rumors of plastic surgery following the circulation of a viral image. The actor vehemently denied these claims, stating that the image had been edited to depict an unrealistic and flawless appearance. He emphasized the importance of embracing one’s natural features and expressed pride in the lines on his face that reflect his experiences.
Rao’s upcoming film, Srikanth, is set for release on May 10th. In this film, Rao portrays Srikanth Bolla, a visually-challenged industrialist whose story has inspired Rao and taught him valuable lessons. Through this role, Rao gained a deeper understanding of the challenges faced by individuals with disabilities and the importance of empathy and inclusivity.
Srikanth, directed by Tushar Hiranandani, promises to be a poignant and thought-provoking film that challenges societal norms and celebrates the triumph of the human spirit.
