Rajkummar Rao opens up on getting replaced by big actors
In a recent conversation with IndiaToday.in, Rajkummar Rao got candid about his early days in Industry and said, "Initially I was replaced from a couple of films, because some other big actors wanted to do it. I was like, 'Wow, this also happens here.'"
He further revealed, "Apart from being replaced, a lot of people would often see me in a certain way. Because I came from a small town, they looked at me in a certain way. They would even question how I could be a lead actor in a film. But there were also people who would say, 'Oh you come from a small town, you are an outsider, but we will make you a lead actor."
