Rajkummar Rao plays a 324 year old man in Raabta: Photos

Actor Rajkummar Rao will be playing the role of a 324 year old man in Dinesh Vijan’s upcoming film ‘Raabta’. The trailer, which has already received 23 million views, ends with a mysterious looking character. The unrecognisable actor is none other than Rajkummar Rao.

The makers of Raabta did 16 look test before picking the final one. Director Dinesh Vijan and Rajkumar sat along with the team over a couple of days to get the final look in place.

“Rajkummar was kind enough to do me a favour. It was tedious but, he patiently sat through it everyday. I think, the idea of the prosthetics making him completely unrecognisable excited him as an actor,” said Vijan in a statement.

In addition to his look, his body posture and voice modulation had to be worked upon.

Rajkummar underwent five to six hours of prosthetic everyday to get into his character. He also had to wear accessories and have tattoos.

Talking about his character, Rao said ”It was so much fun as an actor. Dinoo (Dinesh) has a very clear vision as a director and he gave me a lot of freedom as an actor to explore. The prosthetics used to take almost five to six hours everyday and then I would start sweating inside all that make-up. It needed quite a bit of patience”

Raabta releases in theatres on June 9.

  • He may be playing the role of head of Aghora (tantric).That was the role played by a stunning actor Rao Ramesh from south in Magadheera.

  • @TIGER-the real king
    What sort of logic is that?? ATHGs?? Well Aamir has 5 Athgs, so do u admit Aamir>>>>>>>>>>>Bhai?????????

    Lets look at openings each year, who had a bigger opening(it defines stardom)
    1992-srk
    93-srk
    94-srk
    95-srk
    96-salman
    97-srk
    98-srk
    99-salman
    2000-salman
    2001-salman2002 to 2008-srk except 2005
    2009-2016 salman except 2013(no release) and 2014

    @hritik Doesnt matter, Sooraj Barjatya directed Alok Nath in each and every of his films even Vivah. But I wont call it his movie. Regarding MPK even Aaditya Roy Kapoor has a blockbuster “Aashiqi2”, but that didnt make him a star. Its called “law of average”

    @Indicine-Hope u publish this one unbiased

    So, now HGOTD, BHOTD, ATBB etc don’t matter only opening define stardom. FYI information biggest opening day of nineties belong to Ajay Devgn (Hindustan ki Kasam). So, according to your own logic Ajay Devgn >>>>>srk in nineties….. Hahaha.

    BTW, “Salman is a 2010 born star”, “Salman movies always opened to poor responses in 90’s”, “Salman was nowhere near close to srk in 90’s as far as opening is concerned”…… These lines are Taqiya Qalam of you srkians. So, lets make a comparison between Salman and SRK’s opening day businesses in 90’s (1994-99)………

    1+cr opening collections :
    Salman – 3 movies (B no.1, HSSH & Hello brother)
    Srk – 3 movies (badshah, koyla & trimurty)

    75+ lakhs opening day collections :
    Salman – 10 movies
    Srk – only 7 movies.

    Btw, post Karan Arjun release all Salman movies (from Veergati to HSSH) opened to bumper or excellent responses… Not a single movie underperformed on opening day (except Majhdhaar, which had d same reason of yljk – delayed film)…

  • @Indicine-publish it pls
    @TIGER-the real king
    So u see Salman gave a 1cr opening only in 1999. And WTH is this “75lakhs”?? Does that chota mota benchmark even matter?? Even Bobby deol used to give that

    Your logic of HGOTD/ATHGs etc doesnt make sense as well
    After 2000 Hritik/SRK/Aamir/Sunny all have given ATHgs. Infact Sunny and Aamir have given HGOTD/BHOTD so are they bigger than Salman today because Salman in this century has zero?? Of course not!!!

  • Tiger the real king
    What sort of comparison is that??
    Compare solo releases every year
    1992 srk leads with rbgg(deewana was multi starter) unupdated but I m sure
    1993 unupdated but I m sure srk led with baasigar darr was multi starr
    1994 srk
    1995 srk with ram Jane Despite clash with ahat it did more opening than ur bumper veergati
    1996 srk with chahat jeet was a multistarrer
    1996 srk with koyla
    1998 srk with Dil se
    1999 Salman
    Salman gave 1 cr solo only in 1999
    And 75cr is no benchmark

    So Salman in solo lead was ahead in opening in 1999

    Also recently Boi answer which khan dominated 90s? Actually sunny Paji was top. Go and read that Boi q and a(U asked it)

  • @Tiger-the real king
    Are you underestimating the 90s Ajay Devgn??
    Note it:
    1. In 1993, your Megastar came with top2 heroines Madhuri in Dil Tera Aashiq and Sridevi in Chandramukhi, both lost clashes against Ajay Devgn’s Ek Hi Raasta
    2. When Vijaypath and Hum Madhurike bina kuch nahi had clashed, Vijaypath got more screens than HAHK and opened 6 times more than that HGOTD.
    3. Andaaz apna apna clashed with Suhaag(For dates check BOI) and Suhaag opened 55% higher due to Ajay Devgn
    Your bhai was a content dependent side actor in 90s. Even R Madhvan gave a Blockbuster TWMR. So should we say R Madhvan>>>Akki, srk, hritik etc???
    @Indicine, pls publish this

  • @rejan

    Abey chamiya that 75 lakhs opening day figures for nineties…. Not this decade…. If any movie collected around 75 lakhs in nineties that was considered excellent opening. Itni si baat bheje me nhi jaati kya??

    According to your kabariwala logic ATHGs, HGOTD, BHOTD etc make no sense…. 1cr and 75 lakhs openings are no big achievement…… Then WTF natters for you???

    Oh no! Hiding behind Ajay Devgn… Global king me dum nhi tha kya jo Ajay ka sahara le raha hai??… Hahaha… #I like it.

  • @sayar

    According you guys Salman is nothing without eid…. Let’s have a simple comparasion between Salman and SRK after removing Eid from Salman’s career and Diwali from SRK’s career……

    HGOTD:
    Salman – 2
    Srk – 0

    BHOTD :
    Salman – 2
    Srk – 0

    HGOTY:
    Salman – 5
    SRK – only 1

    ATBB:
    Salman – 2
    Srk – 0

    Blockbusters :
    Salman – 8
    Srk – only 5

    Clean Hit :
    Salman – 22
    Srk – only 16

    See, even without Eid Salman is light years ahead of SRK… Now don’t say that HGOTD, BHOTD, ATBB, Blockbusters, HGOTY etc don’t matter…. Hahaha…

  • @TIGER
    Okay lets take out Deewali from SRK and gift it to Salman
    Andaaz apna apna-flop
    Kyun Ki-flop
    MAMK-flop
    Prdp-hit
    Janeman-flop
    HSSH-Blockbuster
    So 1 BB, 1 hit and 3 flops

    Now lets take out Eid and give it to SRK
    CE-Athg
    K3G-Athg(worldwide) and blockbuster.
    Kaisa laga??
