Actor Rajkummar Rao loves expressed that he loves all the attention he is getting, and also stated that he is overwhelmed with his increasing number of female fans. “I like attention. I like female attention as well. It is very overwhelming. I have seen that there is growth in the amount of people who used to like me and it has gone up thanks to the whole of last year. It is very encouraging also in a way... People like me, they are appreciating my work and the kind of films that I am doing.”
Rajkummar said it is very important to reinvent with each project, “Otherwise it gets boring. Once you find your comfort zone and you keep working in that comfort zone, after a while it gets very boring. You have to keep evolving and keep growing. And growth only happens when you push yourself,” he said.
The actor further said, “The offers are more or less the same what it was earlier. My process hasn’t changed. I was being very selective even when I just started out with LSD and ‘Ragini MMS’. I always tend to choose some unconventional things in life.”
Talking about ‘Omerta’ the actor said, “I love taking risks. That is what I do as an actor. I love challenges. I want to push myself as an actor with every film and whenever it is possible I try to do that with all my characters. ‘Omerta’ offered me something very unique, something which I have never done earlier in my life. It is a story of an evil mind and I wanted to explore that evil genre.”
The actor further added, “He is somebody I don’t connect with. I have no idea about his world. But I have to do it. It is my responsibility as an actor to do it. I started by reading a lot of books on terrorism, different groups and how they function.”
‘Omerta’ is based on British-Pakistani terrorist Omar Saeed Sheikh’s life. The film is slated to release on April 20.
