Rajkummar Rao said he wants to work all his life “so I keep looking for roles that surprise me, excite me, challenge and help me grow”. Actor Rajkummar Rao has opened up about reports that he charged ₹5 crore for every film after the success of his last film, Stree 2. Speaking with Indian Express, Rajkummar said he isn’t “stupid to burden my producers”. The actor also called money “just a byproduct”. Stree 2 released in August this year.
Rajkummar said, “I read different figures every day. I’m not stupid to burden my producers. Being a part of the biggest blockbuster is not going to change me as an actor, money is just a byproduct of my passion. I want to work all my life so I keep looking for roles that surprise me, excite me, challenge and help me grow.”
Last month, speaking on the YouTube channel Unflitered with Samdish, Rajkummar clarified he isn’t as rich as people assume him to be. Directed by Amar Kaushik, the film earned over ₹850 crore gross globally, as per a report by Sacnilk.com. The horror-comedy tells the story of how a villain named Sarkata now terrorises the people of Chanderi, and they look to Stree for help. It has special cameos by Akshay Kumar and Varun Dhawan.
