The Bollywood actor Rajkummar Rao is currently enjoying the success of his last release, Srikanth which released on 10 May and he is getting praised a lot for his performance in the movie.
He is also gearing up for the release of his next movie, Mr. & Mrs. Mahi which will hit the theatres on 31 May 2024. Directed by Sharan Sharma, the film also stars Janhvi Kapoor and is produced by Karan Johar.
During a chat with Karan Johar and Janhvi Kapoor, Rajkummar Rao opened up on the nepotism debate and also revealed that he lost a movie overnight to a star kid but ultimately that movie was never made.
Karan Johar said, “Sometimes they are using it as a toll to make headlines. Immensely successful people are saying, ‘Oh I felt victimised like an outsider and lost opportunity to a star kid’. Somebody is saying, ‘I didn’t attend a party so I didn’t get a role.’ I don’t know at which party there has been transactions for films.”
This is what Rajkummar Rao said in response, “Making contacts is not a problem, but going to a party and say, ‘Hi I am here to make contact.’ But having said that, I was supposed to do a film, but then suddenly I was not in that film overnight. Somebody who is known and happened to be a star kid got that part. I my mind I think it was not fair. Just because you can control things, you know people, you can make some calls, it is being unfair. That film never got made eventually. That guy was an insider but he could have also been an outsider who is successful and could do the same to you.”
Earlier in an interview, Rajkummar Rao stated that he feels it is Karma that the movie never got made.
