Why Rajkummar Rao wants 'Shahid's script?

  • IndiaGlitz, [Tuesday,May 26 2015]

Rajkummar Rao, who won the National Award for the film 'Shahid', has requested his director Hansal Mehta for the script of the film.

It can be noted that 'Shahid' is one of Rao's most special films and the actor has very fond memories with the script which he wants to preserve as a memento. While making the film, Rajkummar took a journey into the life of the lawyer and human rights activist Shahid Azmi, on whom the film was based. He received immense critical acclaim for portrayal of the character which was not emotionally very easy for the actor.

The actor feels that it is not every time that one gets the opportunity to do such a film and that's why he wants to have the script to himself. Added a spokesperson of the young actor, thus, "Shahid is a very special film for Rajkumar. It has gone beyond being just a film and become a part of his identity among audiences. They relate to his character and he wants to have a piece of that time and memory."

Rajkummar Rao will be seen in another film of Hansal Mehta, titled 'Aligarh'. Currently he is getting good response over his soon-to-be-releasing 'Hamari Adhuri Kahani' with Vidya Balan and Emraan Hashmi in lead.
