For me, acting is not about ego, says Rajkummar Rao
What's the story
Actor Rajkummar Rao says for him, the process of acting is extremely pure and he never lets ego come in the way.
Rao has been paired with Kangana Ranaut for a quirky thriller, "Mental Hai Kya" which reunites the two actors after "Queen".
Post "Queen", things changed for Ranaut and today Rao is known for his popularity in both critically and commercially acclaimed films.
Ego clashes
Acting is something very pure: Rao
Speaking on ego clashes as both Ranaut and Rao have become big stars, he said, "No. Trust me, for me acting is not about ego. It's something very pure, it's about dealing with pure emotions."
"(So), how can you put your ego in that?" he said.
The movie will be directed by National Award-winner Prakash Kovelamudi and produced by Ekta Kapoor's Balaji Motion Pictures.
Shooting
The actor is currently shooting for horror comedy "Stree"
"We haven't started shooting yet. But I really like Kangana. We have done a film together, 'Queen', which is a cult. So, I am obviously looking forward to getting to the sets now," Rao said on the new film.
He was speaking at the News 18 Reel Movie Awards last night.
The actor is currently shooting with Shraddha Kapoor for horror comedy, "Stree".
