The trio - Rajkummar Rao, Kriti Sanon and Ayushmann Khurrana - have done an incredible job in this rom-com, though Rao is seen as the second lead.
Rajkummar Rao, late Sushant Singh Rajput and Amit Sadh starred in this movie. It is considered one of the best collaborations in Bollywood till date.
Despite having stars like Abhishek Bachchan, Pankaj Tripathi, and Aditya Roy Kapur, Rao’s character as a hopeless romantic makes the film memorable.
We have already seen Rao in the horror genre in Ragini MMS. But his terrific performance in Stree made the film's makers come up with the sequel Stree 2 with him.
Many of you may not know about this thriller drama, but Rao worked really hard for this film. He went on an extreme diet to portray the role of a trapped man.
Rao’s black-and-white film brings back all the painful struggling memories of the whole world during the Covid-19 pandemic.
Rao’s character as Satyendra remains etched in numerous IAS aspirants’ minds as a majority of them can resonate with his predicament and the love story.
