Rajkummar Rao on taking his work seriously

During the conversation, we asked Stree actor how he manages to flawlessly get into the skin of the character. He credited his makers and co-actors while stating that he likes to work with like-minded people. He said, “Well, that’s my job I think. That’s what everybody expects out of me to see the character on screen. But I would say I am not the only one who should take the credit for this of course there’s a whole world that the makers create to give us that you know that surrounding and environment. My co-actor has to be there with the same sharing and passion. I like working with like-minded people who are here for the right reason and not just to say their lines and then be busy on Instagram.”

Talking about how passionate he is and takes the work seriously, Rajkummar shared, “When we work it’s something that we all totally love doing. Maybe that’s the reason I am very hard working and I don’t take my work lightly. I take it very seriously. It must be a funny or comedy film, but I do it very seriously. Because this is the only thing I always wanted to do since I was a kid and now I can’t be complacent thinking that. Now the work is coming and I have to work harder now.”
