Rajkummar Rao is among the finest actors in the Indian film industry. After making a successful Bollywood debut with Dibakar Banerjee’s ‘Love Sex aur Dhokha’ in 2010, the actor went on to deliver some brilliant performances with films like ‘Kai Po Che’, ‘Queen’ and ‘City Lights’. His excellent portrayal of lawyer and human rights activist, Shahid Azmi, in the 2013 biopic ‘Shahid’, won him the National Film Award for Best Actor and cemented his place in the industry as one of the most promising talents from the current lot of actors.
While the actor had bared his butt in ‘Shahid’, he has now pushed the envelope even further. According to recent reports, the actor has bared it all in Hansal Mehta’s ‘Omerta’. In the film, Rajkummar will be seen playing the role of Ahmed Omar Saeed Sheikh, a British terrorist of Pakistani origin who is infamous for his role in the 2002 kidnapping and murder of Wall Street Journal reporter, Daniel Pearl.
Talking about this, a source said, “It’s an integral sequence involving frontal nudity where Rajkummar’s character is shown having sex with a prostitute a day before he leaves for a terrorist mission. It took the makers a month to find an actress who would agree to be a part of said sequence before finally canning it in Delhi last year.”
Talking about doing what the script demands, Rajkummar asserted, “I like to push my limits and as an actor if I am convinced about a scene, I can do it. The butt scene in Shahid was part of an emotional sequence.”
“However, this one is more wild. I had discussed it with Hansal sir before we shot for it,” said Rajkummar before signing off.
