Srikanth was a challenging role for Rajkummar Rao

In a recent interview with PTI, Rajkummar Rao opened up about how challenging it was for him, to take up the role of Srikanth Bolla. However, as an actor, that is exactly what Rajkummar is always on the lookout for. With Srikanth, it was a career first for the actor, essaying a visually-impaired individual - something that truly broadened his horizons as an actor.

He said, "I love challenges. And, something that scares me excites me even more. And Srikanth did that to me. I've never played a visually impaired man before. I didn't know if I would be able to do it. But that's the fun where you push yourself out of your comfort zone. There was so much research that had to be done. Whenever I get an opportunity like that, I totally cherish it."
