Rajkummar Rao reacts to question about people glorifying negative characters in films, read to know more

<p>On Raj Shamani's podcast, Rajkummar Rao said that he believes that imitating Devdas after watching the film reflects personal issues rather than flaws in the film itself.</p>

<p>Rajkummar Rao discussed the issue of people admiring negative characters in films on Raj Shamani's podcast. He was asked about why some people relate to Shah Rukh Khan's character in Devdas.</p>
<p>Rajkummar Rao clarified, saying that if some people try to imitate Devdas after watching the film, the issue is with them, not the film.</p>
<p>He further explained, 'You have been shown a story that there might be some guy like Devdas. The Director isn't asking anyone to become like him, and it's based on a book... It's a character story. He dies in the end. He is telling you if you do this, you gonna die sooner. He is not telling you that he is facing all these, still he is living well and has a lot of money.'</p>
<h3>Rajkummar on the film 'Animal'</h3>
<p>Rajkummar Rao also shared his thoughts on Ranbir Kapoor starrer 'Animal'. He mentioned, 'I loved Animal, the experience of watching Animal. I enjoyed it. Did I have some issues with the film?

I loved Ranbir Kapoor in it and his performance in the film was mind-blowing. Rajkummar shared that a film critic said that the film was titled Animal and not Adarsh Purush, as the director wanted to show the story of an 'animal'.</p>
<p>'Animal', released in 2023, is an action drama directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga. The film features Ranbir Kapoor, Anil Kapoor, Bobby Deol, Rashmika Mandanna, and Triptii Dimri.

Rajkummar Rao refuses plastic surgery claims amid online trolling: 'Bad moment caught on camera' 

<h2><strong>Rajkummar Rao has refuted claims of plastic surgery following the brutal online trolling. The actor said it was just a bad moment caught on camera.&nbsp;</strong></h2>

<p>Bollywood actor Rajkummar Rao recently had onlookers' jaws dropped when he attended Diljit Dosanjh's concert in Mumbai last weekend. Netizens were also shocked to see the actor's new look, which sparked curiosity and confusion, followed by criticism. While some fans were surprised by his transformation, others called him out for shocking plastic surgery, particularly genioplasty. However, Rao has now refuted the claims of going under the knife, saying it was just a bad photo.&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>'I have not done any plastic surgery'</strong></h3>
<p>In an interview with Bollywood Hungama, Rao refuted allegations about undergoing plastic surgery. He said, &ldquo;I have not done any plastic surgery, guys. It is just a bad photo. That is just a touch-up photo. I wish I had such clean and flawless skin because it looks like that. I was not wearing any makeup. But I must say it looks weird even for me. It was just a bad moment caught on camera. I have not done any plastic surgery.&rdquo;</p>
<h3><strong>'I did some filler work'</strong></h3>
<p>However, Rao admitted doing some filler work on his chin eight years ago because he wanted to look confident. He said, "My dermatologist suggested it and I did. Do I feel confident after that? Yes. Have I done better films after that. It has changed the perception. Acting is a visual media. I am not against it. If somebody wants to boost their confidence and the science is available, then why not. But no to plastic surgery. It is too expensive and time-consuming.&rdquo;</p>
<p>Work-wise, Rajkummar Rao will next be seen in 'Mr And Mrs Mahi' opposite Janhvi Kapoor. The film will be released in theatres on May 31. He also has 'Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video' and 'Srikanth' in the pipeline.</p>

Rajkummar Rao has carved a niche for himself in Bollywood with his impeccable performances. He has portrayed every character with absolute honesty and for some he has also undergone complete transformation. On his birthday, here's a look at some of his characters that left the audience stumped.
Raabta (2017)
Rajkummar Rao had a cameo in the Sushant Singh Rajput and Kriti Sanon starrer, but he underwent a complete transformation to play a 324 year-old man in the reincarnation drama. Each day, he dedicated five-six hours for the prosthetic makeup required to get into the skin of the character. His drastic transformation had left everyone in shock.
Trapped (2016)
This was probably one of the most challenging roles for the actor. The film received a lot of critical acclaim. Rajkummar Rao went on a strict carrot and black coffee diet during and prior to the film’s shoot to look the part of a man who starved for days.
In an exclusive interview with Deccan Chronicle, he said, ‘That was the need of the script. I was playing a character that was going through such hell. So to fit in the character I had to starve myself. I was on black coffee and carrots for days to go through that pain, frustration and helplessness.’
Omerta (2017)
Rajkummar Rao portrayed the role of British-born terrorist Ahmed Omar Saeed Sheikh in this film. In an interview with The Indian Express, the actor talked about the process of fitting into the character of a terrorist. He revealed that he spent hours listening to Sheikh’s speeches and trying to not only understand but also feel the hate and anger that he poured out.

Bose: Dead/Alive (2017)
The actor gained 11kgs for his web series based on India's freedom fighter Subhash Chandra Bose. Speaking to Mumbai Mirror, Rao said he binged on pizzas, Bengali sweets and junk food for over one month and stopped working out. Bald and pot-bellied, he certainly looked the part in the Hansal Mehta directorial.
Hamari Adhuri Kahani (2015)
Rajkummar’s role in the Mohit Suri directorial demanded him to look shabby and that’s why the actor chose not to bathe for several days in row. As per reports, he didn't have a shower for nearly 20 days to justify his role as Hari, who was set up as a terrorist in the film. He reportedly also went barefoot and ran in intense jungles during a sequence.
