Rajkummar Rao, known for his versatility in Bollywood, recently expressed his profound respect for Shah Rukh Khan, acknowledging the superstar as a major influence in his decision to become an actor. In a recent interview, Rao revealed how a viral video of Shah Rukh Khan delivering his famous line, “Vicky please,” from the movie ‘Stree’, filled him with both pride and excitement.
“It’s a great feeling. All my life, even today, I’ve been saying, of course, Shah Rukh Khan’s dialogue. Of course, I paid an homage to him. He was in ‘Stree 1’ and in ‘Stree 2‘ also. But when somebody like him, of course, says my line, such an iconic line, it’s such an amazing feeling. I can’t describe it in words. Because he’s been a big reason for me to be an actor,” Rajkummar told IANS.
When asked about the star he looks up to, Rao was quick to acknowledge his admiration for Shah Rukh Khan. “He’ll always be my star, for sure. And, you know, anyone who delivers an exceptional performance on screen, who inspires me, who touches my heart, is my star,” he said.
Rajkummar Rao’s latest release, ‘Stree 2’, directed by Amar Kaushik, has been a massive success at the box office. The film has earned a staggering Rs 510 crore within just 11 days of its release, surpassing Hrithik Roshan’s ‘Fighter’, which grossed Rs 337.20 crore worldwide. The sequel to the 2018 hit ‘Stree’ has clearly resonated with audiences, solidifying Rao’s status as a bankable star in Bollywood.
When questioned about how he consistently elevates his acting game, Rao remained humble. “I don’t know. I just try to be honest. I don’t think too much. I just try to be honest with my character, and I just have fun with it. Maybe that’s what translates on screen,” he explained.
He further elaborated on his approach to acting, stating, “Like I said, I just try and be sincere to what is given to me. And of course, I work hard, and I try to push myself as an actor with every character, every film.”
