Mumbai Nov 4 (IANS) Actor Rajkummar Rao who injured his leg last month says everything is on track now and he will soon be "back in action".
"I ve lost three days when I was in the hospital otherwise everything is on track. I have been dubbing and also promoting Shaadi Mein Zaroor Aana . The only unfortunate part is that we had to push the shooting of Fanney Khan . I feel bad for my team and producers Kriarj ROMP and T-Series but they have been so supportive and wonderful to me. I ll be back in action...four to five weeks max " he said.
The "Trapped" actor considers 2017 to be "certainly one of the best years of my career but I never planned it like this".
"I was just shooting for all these films last year and this year and they all released. It was just a coincidence. But no complains. I feel very blessed that I m part of all these wonderful films. I know not every year is going to be the same but I ll try and keep doing different films and push myself with every film " said the "Newton" star.
His another film is set to release soon.
"Yes Shaadi Mein Zaroor Aana is a very sweet romantic drama. It s a first for me in this genre but I had a really good time shooting for it. We had a great team and a really wonderful script. It gave me a lot of scope to perform as an actor because there are two different personality traits of my character in it " said Rajkummar.
It looks like another small town romance-comedy like "Bareilly Ki Barfi". Isn t that becoming a bit of a problem?
" Shaadi... is set in a small town but it s not our usual small town rom-coms. As an actor I try to keep it as versatile as possible...I feel the small town rom-com has a charm and you can find so many characters in them that it s fun to explore. Even if it s a formula also it s a sweet formula to experiment with " he said.
His other film "Omerta" has been received well at film festivals.
" Omerta is a very powerful film I feel. As an actor it took a toll on my mental health. It wasn t an easy character to portray but Hansal (Mehta) sir pushed me to my limits.
"We made this film with a lot of honesty and passion and it s an antagonist story so that way it was a first for us. It feels great when audiences like our effort and can see the honesty in our films. Toronto MAMI and Busan are all major festivals and I am really happy that we had such an overwhelming response " he said.
How does he manage to be so effective in spite of doing so much work?
"I wish I knew if am effective or not. I always feel very nervous before starting any new film and probably it s this fear only that pushes me to work harder every time. I try and live all my characters sincerely and try and make them believable " he said.
