Playing real life characters gives me real high, reveals Rajkummar Rao!
Rajkummar Rao bagged a National Film Award when he played the life of lawyer Shahid Azmi in 2013 movie “Shahid”. Now he is seen as Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose in web series “Bose: Dead/Alive”. Actor Rajkummar Rao tells depicting somebody’s life on-screen gives him real high as he gets ecstatic over the response he gets from fans.
Rajkummar is on a roll. He has just won two Asia Pacific Screen Awards for his role in “Newton”, India’s Oscar entry for the foreign film category.
Always one to go an extra mile for his roles, the Film and Television Institute of India alumnus had to gain 13 kg and go half bald for his role in “Bose: Dead/Alive”, which is available on Ekta Kapoor’s digital app ALTBalaji.
“There is a sense of responsibility when you play a real-life character because there are people, who will see your work, make comparisons and judge you. They have all the rights to do that because they know the real person. They might have seen that person also,” Rajkummar revealed a media source.
“Actually, playing a real-life character as an actor gives me a real high because there is so much of research material available in front of you. It’s amazing how you get to recreate somebody else’s life on-screen. It’s wonderful when you get responses like, ‘You actually look like him’,” he further added.
