Rajkummar Rao Discusses Film Scene Controversy

Rajkummar Rao has expressed that he would find it difficult to portray a scene where he slaps a woman, indicating he would require extensive discussions with the director to justify its necessity. In a recent interview, he specifically mentioned the controversial scene in the film Kabir Singh, stating he would have debates over such depictions unless essential for character development. As he prepares for the release of Stree 2 on August 15, 2024, Rao reflects on his career choices that balance artistic integrity with mainstream appeal. The sequel to the successful horror-comedy Stree features a cast including Shraddha Kapoor and Pankaj Tripathi, with the story centered around a new haunting in Chanderi. Despite his hesitance towards certain roles, fans are eager to see him take on complex characters in the future. However, Rao maintains a stance of moral responsibility in his acting choices, differentiating himself from roles like that in Kabir Singh.
