Rajkummar Rao, “I have decided not to do films for friendship, it’s not good for me and the film” : Bollywood News

In the last decade or so, Rajkummar Ro has emerged as one of the most talented actors from Bollywood. After getting noticed in his debut Love Sex Aur Dhokha and later in Ragini MMS, he delivered a box office hit in the form of Stree. However, his last few theatrical releases haven’t done well at the ticket window.

Rajkummar Rao, “I have decided not to do films for friendship, it’s not good for me and the film”

It seems like Rajkummar has taken note of this. In an interview with Free Press Journal, the actor said that he has now decided to not do films just for friendship. “Sometimes you get emotional as they are friends and you agree to do a film for them,” he said. “But now I have decided not to do this anymore. When I am not there wholeheartedly in a project and I don’t believe in it, I feel that is not good for me and even for the film.”

Rajkummar added that it’s not easy to put in your heart and soul in a film you don’t believe in. “It’s tough and challenging and you have to put in your hundred per cent,” he said. “Because somebody is producing and putting in money into the film, there are so many others who are working hard to make that film and nobody wants to make a bad film. Everyone is trying to make a good film. So you try to contribute your best too but there are days when you realise that this can misfire. I don’t have many friends who are producers and directors.”

Rao was last seen in the Netflix film Monica, O My Darling. Directed by Vasan Bala and also starring Huma Qureshi and Radhika Apte, the movie and Rajkummar’s work were well received.
