Rajkummar Rao has THIS to say about being replaced by a ‘star’ in films in the past – Times of India
Recently, Rajkummar Rao announced the wrap of his next film titled ‘Badhaai Do’, wherein he is paired opposite Bhumi Pednekar. The film features Rajkummar in the role of a cop by the name of Shardul Thakur while Bhumi essays the character of a PT teacher by the name of Sumi. The film is a slice-of-a-life drama and is directed by Harshavardhan Kulkarni.
Rajkummar has also signed up the Hindi remake of Telugu cop thriller ‘HIT’, which stands for Homicide Intervention Team. The Hindi version will be directed by Sailesh Kolanu, who had also helmed the original Telugu film. ‘HIT’ narrates the story of a police officer who is on the trail of a missing woman. Speaking about the venture, Rajkummar Rao told Mumbai Mirror, “When I saw ‘HIT’, I instantly connected with it. It’s an engaging story, relevant in today’s environment. As an actor, I am always on the look out to play characters I haven’t explored and ‘HIT’ gives me a chance to do that. I’m looking forward to take this journey with Sailesh and (producer) Dil Raju.”
