Film actor Rajkummar Rao has delivered critically acclaimed movies with powerhouse performances, although he has not heard from Dharma Productions. But if rumours are to be believed, the Stree actor has been signed by Dharma Productions for their next project.
According to a trade source, the project in question is a sequel to a Dharma film.
“The director is yet to be confirmed, but the makers want Rajkummar to play an important role in a film sequel that they are planning. The earlier film has also been produced by Dharma and the makers feel that Rao is an apt choice for the film. It is not clear as to what the sequel in question is all about,” informs the trade source.
Rao has been noticed by Dharma throughout his journey from movies like Shahid, Citylights, Queen to Newton, but since he broke the Rs 100 crore barrier with Stree, the big banners are keen to let the actor spearhead the cast of their films.
“Karan Johar also saw the rise of Vicky Kaushal earlier and locked him for Takht, but that was before Vicky performed the surgical strike. With Rao, it has taken a while in coming as he has always been busy with many happening projects,” mentions the source.
