  • In this conversation with Anupama Chopra, Rajkummar Rao throws light on his next big release “Srikanth” directed by Tushar Hiranandani. He delves into his process of preparing for the role, and how spending time with visually-impaired individuals shaped his character, both on reel and in reality. He then talks about the recent trolling he’s been subjected to, surrounding his chin surgery, and the noise social media brings along. He discusses his love for films, and tells us how much he enjoyed and loved the Diljit Dosanjh starrer Amar Singh Chamkila.

Even Naseer saab in one interview said that people who think method acting is not a good way to do it are foolish because to act you have to prepare and get into the character or unless you cannot even improvise because to improvise too you should know about the character.

I couldn't understand why Anupama ji was so sorry about the noise about his chin, though... acche actors ho toh aap ke baare mein ye nahi bola jana chahiye ? Why these double standards? In general it is a personal choice and it's absolutely fine, there's nothing wrong about it but notice to hoga hi. If media can criticise katrina kaif for fillers , they should speak about Shefali Shah's fillers as well. Ideally, nobody should go through this but sirf RR ye deserve nahi karte ye baat kehna galat hai. Anupama ji never said she felt bad about the noise in case of bhumi or katrina or janhavi then why him ? No need.

    Why does he feel the need to lie about it? It’s very clear that he didn’t just do something “nine years back”. Just look at films like Newton where his chin is very different from the enlarged structure it is today. It IS more recent and it is a permanent change he made. And the fact is that his chin, in ANY interview, not that specific image, looks extremely odd.
    Why not just own it fully and move on. It’s these half truths that create fodder for ridicule.

    I think he has lost he's peace of mind facing all the trolls lately about his new face surgery. He is not the normal innocent Rajkumar Rao anymore.. he is trying to answer all questions without even thinking twice, look at his body language he looks anxious and uncomfortable not like few years ago...even though he is try to be normal but doesn't look natural behaviour of him. There are so much going in his mind. Poor guy!!

      Not even sure why he did it, he looked fine, now he looks ridiculous. This is called celebrity pressure ):
