Rajkummar Rao is riding high on the succcess of his latest release ‘Stree 2‘, which has gone on to mint over Rs 200 crore worldwide in the first week itself. The actor recently shared his thoughts on some iconic Bollywood films, which glorified negative characters.
While speaking to On Raj Shamani on his podcast, Rajkummar Rao opined about people relating to the character of Devdas after watching the movie.”If you want to become Devdas after watching it, the problem is in you. You have been shown a story that there might be some guy like Devdas. He (Director) isn’t asking anyone to become like him, and it’s based on a book… It’s a character story. He dies in the end. He is telling you if you do this, you gonna die sooner. He is not telling you that he is facing all these, still he is living well and has a lot of money,” shared Rajkummar Rao.
The ‘Stree’ actor also admitted that he enjoyed watching ‘Animal’ and that Ranbir Kapoor delivered an ‘mind-blowing’ performance in the movie. Rajkummar said, “I loved Animal, the experience of watching Animal. I enjoyed it. Did I have some issues with the film? Maybe. Some scenes here and there, yes. But did I not enjoy the film? Of course not, I enjoyed the film, I enjoyed the experience of watching the film. I loved Ranbir Kapoor in it and his performance in the film was mind-blowing. Rajkummar shared that a film critic said that the film was titled Animal and not Adarsh Purush, as the director wanted to show the story of an “animal”. Upon its release last year, ‘Animal’ faced a lot of flak for its toxic male lead. However the film emerged as a blockbuster at the box office and a second part is in the offing.
