Rajkumar Rao is currently on Malik’s campaigner competition. In a special interview with Pinkvilla, the actor highlighted various stages of his life. He also recalled how Gangs of Wasipur was originally for a performance between him and Nawazuddin Siddiqui. However, things changed and their role decreased to a great extent.
Rajkummar Rao remembers how his parallel role was cut in the gang of Vasipur
Rajkumar Rao reminded how Anurag Kashyap approached him and offered Vaspur’s gangs. He said, “Anurag sir called me for Gangs of Vasipur. At that time Jasipur should have been between me and Nawaz (Nawazuddin Siddiqui). The story was between these two characters.”
He further said that he was very excited to lead a parallel to Kashyap’s film. Rao revealed that he and Nawaz also went to the real Vasipur to understand the dialect and pronunciation. “Me and Nawaz actually went to Vasipur with the author, Zeeshan (Zeeshan Qadri), Hume leke gay de kyanki woh vahi si hain. Hum log vaha rahe kuch time, I was recording people on my voice recorder just to pronounce and understand Milli.”
One day when he was busy with Ragini MMS patchwork, he received a call from Anurag Kashyap, who asked Rao to visit his office. “I met him, he said that the sun script has come, but Abhi Tera’s role Usme Kuch Bacha Nahi Hai, Tu Dekh Kya Karna Hai. I would love to love you in your film, but you decide.
In addition, Rao underlined that Anurag Kashyap had recommended Shahid to give his name to Hansal Mehta, which became a path-breaking film for him.
