RajKummar Rao is an incredible actor with surreal screen presence. RajKummar’s journey has not been an easy ride. The actor made his screen debut in Rann and was noticed in Dibakar Banerjee’s, Love Sex Aur Dhokha. Since then, he has been a part of many movies and delivered hits. RajKummar is currently busy promoting his Netflix film, Monica, O My Darling.

During the promotion of the film, RajKummar recalled his struggling days. The actor said that he faced rejections in the past mainly due to his looks. He mentioned it was difficult to bag a role of a hero in films. He added that it was Dibakar Banerjee who went for his talent and saw ‘something in me’.

RajKummar told India Today, “There was a time when I would never get to audition for hero’s role. I was told to audition for his friend’s role. I know I am not the most good-looking man in the room but Dibakar Banerjee saw something in me.”
