MUMBAI: Rajkummar Rao’s Bollywood journey began with a modest role in the 2010 film Love Sex Aur Dhokha. Although small, his performance made an impact, catching the eye of both audiences and industry insiders, especially being an outsider.
Rajkummar’s big break came in 2013 with Kai Po Che!, where he portrayed Govind. His layered performance won him widespread acclaim and established him as a force to be reckoned with in the industry.
That same year, Rajkummar delivered a stellar performance in Shahid, a biographical film that earned him the prestigious National Film Award for Best Actor. His portrayal of the human rights lawyer showcased his dedication to the craft and marked a turning point in his career.
One of his greatest strengths is his versatility. Whether it’s the dark satire of Newton, the romantic comedy Bareilly Ki Barfi, or the horror-comedy Stree, he effortlessly transforms into various diverse characters.
In 2018, Stree became a major box office hit, blending horror and comedy in a way that resonated with audiences. The film’s success further solidified his standing as a bankable star, proving he could excel both critically and commercially.
More recently, in the film Srikanth, Rajkummar Rao delivered a powerful performance, receiving rave reviews for his range. His role in Mr & Mrs Mahi only added to his diverse filmography, further demonstrating his ability to tackle complex characters.
Now, Stree 2 shattered box office records, becoming the highest-grossing Hindi film of the year. With its combination of humor, horror, and Rajkummar’s standout performance, the film drew massive audiences and earned critical praise, cementing its place in Bollywood history.
Fans are now eagerly anticipating Rao’s upcoming film, Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video, where he will be seen alongside Triptii Dimri. Set to release in October, the film promises to be another exciting chapter in Rajkummar Rao’s extraordinary journey as one of Bollywood’s most talented actors.
