Rajkummar Rao opened up about shorter role in Gangs Of Wasseypur

In an interview with Pinkvlla, Rajkummar Rao expressed disappointment when his lead role in web series Gangs Of Wasseypur was cut down. He said, “Of course thoda bura laga tha, kyunki mujhe pata nahi tha ki kitna (role) kata hai. We all are humans. Mujhe thoda bura to laga tha ki yaar hum log to gaye the train se 3 din lage the wahan pahuchne me, train se wapas bhi aaye the. Nobody had money. But that was all fine as long as I’m getting work.

(Of course, I did feel a bit bad because I didn’t know how much of my role had been cut. We’re all human. I did feel a little hurt – like, we had travelled by train, it took us three days to get there, and we came back by train too. Nobody had money. But it was all fine as long as I was getting work).”

But he further went on to tell how and why he accepted to participate as he said, “I met him he said ki sun script aa gayi hai but abhi tera role usme kuch bacha nahi hai, to tu dekh kya karna hai. I would love to have you in my film but you decide. I said, Sir, mujhe aapke saath kaam karna hai. I dont know kitna bada role hai but jo bhi hai main karunga.

(I met him and he said, “Listen, the script is ready, but there’s not much left of your role now, so it’s up to you to decide.” He added, “I’d love to have you in my film, but you decide.” I said, “Sir, I want to work with you. I don’t know how big the role is, but whatever it is, I’ll do it).”

Meanwhile the actor is currently promoting his film Maalik, an action-thriller film directed by Pulkit. The film is produced by Kumar Taurani and Jay Shewakramani and stars Rajkummar Rao in the titular role, alongside Prosenjit Chatterjee and Manushi Chhillar.
