Rajkummar Rao turns 40 tomorrow. He has played some interesting and incredible characters that made him the shape shifter of Bollywood. Rajkummar is one of the few actors who proved becoming an actor is far more appealing than becoming a hero. On his birthday, lets see some of his shape-shifting characters that we loved the most.
1. Rajkummar Rao As Shaurya: Trapped
This was the movie that proved Rajkummar Rao's potential as an effortless actor. The way he almost convinced the audience that he was trapped in his flat shook us to the core.There are many scenes in the movie that are nerve-wracking, but the one that we loved the most has to be his struggle for survival. He even won the Filmfare Award for Best Actor in 2017.
2. Rajkummar Rao As Govind Patel: Kai Po Che
One of the most responsible and sorted characters, Govind Patel, aka Govi, is the glue that holds the trio together. The Rajkummar Rao, Sushant Singh Rajput, and Amit Sadh starrer went on to become a critically acclaimed hit in 2013.
3. Rajkummar Rao As Newton Kumar: Newton
If you thought the actor could not pull off a dark comedy, wait till you watch Newton. When a government servant is sent to a politically vulnerable area for election duty, the real story begins. If you haven't watched this masterpiece, now is the time.
4. Rajkummar Rao As Pritam Vidrohi: Bareilly Ki Barfi
Find us a better actor who can play the role of Pritam Vidrohi, because you won't be able to. Rajkummr Rao ate and left no crumbs in Bareilly Ki Barfi. From an underconfident saree salesman to a badass babua, we loved every bit of his transition.
5. Rajkummar Rao As Vicky: Stree
Looking for a tailor and a lover? Just say two words: "Vicky, please!" If you read this in Rajkummar Rao's style, you are a true Bollywood fan. Not every man has to show his respect for women out loud. Some just do that by loving them and treating them equally.He was equally amazing and phenomenal in the second installment, Stree 2, proving his mettle with every passing film.
