Actor Rajkummmar Rao says that as an actor he is eager to work with different filmmakers because he has learned that he can only be successful if he fully submits to a director’s vision. Rajkummar Rao is known for his creative collaborations with filmmaker Hansal Mehta in more than six projects, including Shahid, Citylights, Aligarh, Omerta and the next one Chhalaang. Besides Hansal Mehta, the actor has also benefited from successful partnerships with filmmakers like Abhishek Kapoor (Kai Po Che), Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari (Bareilly Ki Barfi), Vikramaditya Motwane (Trap), Amar Kaushik (Stree) and especially recently the black comedy ensemble by Anurag Basu Ludo.

The more you work with great directors, the more you grow as an actor, ”the actor told PTI in an interview.
Ludo follows four different stories with people facing inevitable dangers in life. The film began airing on Netflix from Thursday.

So for me the main instinct has come from where he’s madly in love with this girl. And it doesn’t matter if she loves him or not. do not.
“So I would take it from there and when you have someone like Dada (Basu) with you things get really really easy because you know you are in good hands. Being a fan of Mithun Chakraborty, Aalu is always shown in his character and this in turn helps him cope with his emotions. “
Rajkummar Rao said the character is full of physical comedy and he needs to focus on his body language to play him properly. “I danced a lot to different songs of Mithun Da and saw several of his videos on YouTube, from Gunmaster G9 of Surakksha. It was my favorite song. And so I danced a lot to that song, just to get the beat. I wanted to get that body language where it always felt a bit bumpy … “” It’s a human story and I wanted Aalu to react in a very human way. Just because he’s slightly stronger than my other characters doesn’t mean he doesn’t have a heart. He feels things and reacts to situations in a very different way. “
Overall, the actor said he had a wonderful time working with Anurag Basu. “He’s a genius filmmaker and gives his actors a lot of freedom. Just to explore the character in depth. He doesn’t put you on the line that ‘you’re supposed to be doing this and that’s exactly what you should be doing.’ . No. “He lets you be and if you are wrong then He is always there to guide you. He will stop you and pull you back. So he really trusts his actors. And of course, as an actor, I had complete confidence in him. “

I don’t know where I want to take this character or what’s going to happen. So, it takes me a few days to figure it out. And once I get it, then I really start to enjoy the whole process. “That’s never how I get a character and I say, ‘Let’s do this. “No, but I like a challenge. A character who is empowering and that I can’t see on my own, I like playing those roles, where I can push myself.”
