Rajkummar Rao on shaking a leg for ‘Bareilly Ki Barfi’

Rajkummar Rao isn’t an actor who has taken up a conventional set of roles since his debut. However, in the forthcoming ‘Bareilly Ki Barfi’, the actor is seen shaking a leg for the first time, to the surprise of many.

On the response his dancing has received, Rao told Hindustan Times, “I didn’t have any apprehension to dance. I used to dance a lot while growing up, that’s how I started doing my stage activities. But when I fell in love with acting, I forgot everything else. Once you’re a dancer, you’re always a dancer. People get happily surprised that ‘oh he can dance too”.

Kriti Sanon, who is the female lead in the film, also added, “He dances very well. If you watch him in the song, he is having a blast, he is carefree”.

Rao added that he’s never been against dancing in films as such, “I always wanted to be an actor and act. You can then add your 8-pack abs, learn horse riding and everything. I am still exploring acting and if someone wants me to dance, probably I can give them that as well. I love dancing, I am open to it. If somebody wants me to dance, I’ll do it all over again”.

‘Bareilly Ki Barfi’ releases on 18th August, also starring Ayushmann Khurrana.
