After going unrecognisable with heavy prosthetics in ‘Raabta‘, Rajkummar Rao is experimenting with his look yet again for an upcoming web series based on freedom fighter Subhash Chandra Bose. Rajkumar seems to be doing a lot of work for this. On the demand of the character, he has shaved the crown of his head to look convincing. According to sources, When Rajkummar gave his nod to the web series, he thought of sporting a semi-bald look as value addition to his appearance. He takes his roles seriously and doesn’t hold back from putting in extra effort to make them more relatable and interesting.
Rajkumar said, We tried prosthetics, but that wasn’t working for the look. Playing Netaji was a huge responsibility, and we didn’t want to go wrong in any aspect. It was an impromptu decision to shave the crown part. “It isn’t a big deal. I did what had to be done”, he said.
The life of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose, which is being directed by Hansal Mehta has Rajkummar Rao as the lead. The director said, it will be an attempt to present the life and struggle of Subhash Chandra Bose to the current generation. Subhash Chandra Bose is credited with revamping the Indian National Army, whose aim was to secure India’s independence from British rule. Subhash Chandra Bose was fair and bespectacled, his wide forehead and a receding hairline being distinguishable features. That’s what Rao set out to achieve. The actor said, his well-wishers advised him to give it a second thought. But he made up his mind and went ahead with it.
Actor Rajkumar is currently busy in promoting his upcoming film ‘Behen Hogi Teri‘, which also stars Shruti Haasan as the female lead.
