The trailer for Rajkummar Rao's upcoming film, 'Srikanth', has managed to capture fans' attention. Released on Tuesday (April 9), the trailer sees the actor step into the shoes of Srikanth Bolla, a visually challenged entrepreneur who stood tall in the face of adversity to live his dreams. Amidst applause from all corners, Rao has received the sweetest note of appreciation from his wife and actor, Patralekhaa.
Patralekhaa took to her Instagram account to share the inspiring trailer for 'Srikanth'. Alongside it, she wrote, "Rajjjjjjj, what an amazing trailer! I am so stoked for you and this amazing character that you played. I just want to scribble a couple of words about your journey with this character.”
Recalling how much he has actually dedicated himself to playing Bolla, she recalled, “It all started with you going to the blind school; the very next week you came home with almost a cracked rib as you were practicing blind cricket, so you thought you might as well shut the eyes and play. I didn't realise that this wasn’t the scary part. The scary part began after a few days of your shoot. When I saw your shoulder drop, your posture began to change. I kept yelling that you don’t have to do this. At some point, I thought you were going to go blind by not letting your eyes rest.”
She added, "But I see you, Rajuuuu; you are just the best at what you do. You devote your body and soul to the character. I consider myself lucky to be a part of your madness and super proud of you, husband. But kabhi kabhi meri bhi sun liya karna yaar (sometimes, listen to me too).”
Directed by Tushar Hirandani and written by Jadgdeep Sidhu and Sumit Purohit, 'Srikanth' also features Jyotika and Alaya F. The film is slated to release in theatres on May 10.
