Rajkummar Rao claims that Badhaai Do was underrated further saying, ‘There are films which will be watched even when we are gone’

Rajkummar Rao who debuted in the Bollywood industry with Love Sex Aur Dhoka has become a people’s actor with extremely amazing performances throughout the years. The actor has featured in a number of hit films Stree, Kai PO Che, Shahid, Bareilly ki Barfi, The White Tiger, and Ludo among others. Rajkummar Rao will next feature in Sailesh Kollanu’s HIT: The First Case. The film stars Sanya Malhotra as the leading lady and is set to release in theatres on July 15.

In a recent chat, the Newton actor revealed doing films where his heart wasn’t in it. Nobody can predict if a movie will earn 100 or 200 crores at the box office, according to Rajkummar, because no one is familiar with the rules of the game. He said, "What we know is how to make a film with the utmost sincerity and to really give the film whatever you have. That's what makes me happy. I want to go back home after a day's work and think 'you know, I did something good today.' And I feel that I want to feel content doing that job. So I'm gonna just be in that process forever. I started with that. Films like Shahid, Newton, and LSD made me happy."

The actor also mentioned how underrated Badhaai Do is, saying that some movies are made to last a lifetime while others are only supposed to be watched for a weekend or a week before being forgotten by viewers two years later. "I'm not saying because these are my films. In other films like The Godfather, you know, these films will be there for life, people will be watching them even after 100 years. Similarly, with my films like Shahid or Sanya Malhotra's Pagglait, you know, people will be watching it even after we are gone. So yes, you have to make your choices. I may have chosen maybe one or two films, where my heart was not there and I will not be doing that anymore," said the 37-year-old actor.

Apart from Hit: The First Case, Rajkummar Rao has many projects in his pipeline which include Mr. & Mrs. Mahi opposite Janhvi Kapoor, Bheed, and Swagat Hai by Hansal Mehta.
