Mumbai, May 22
National Award-winning star Rajkummar Rao says he chooses projects based on instinct, not success or value.
When asked how he chooses films—whether based on the value they add to his life or the value he brings to them—Rajkummar told : “It's not about the value it would add to me, because I go with my gut feeling. If I like a story—something that excites you—there's something about it… some kind of chemical reaction, a spark that happens inside when you hear a good story.”
Rajkummar, who is gearing up for the release of his upcoming film “Bhool Chuk Maaf”, says he picks films only when both the story and the maker feel right.
He added: “And if the maker is right for that story—because it's not enough for the story to be great if the maker isn't—then it's a no. But if the story is good and the maker is also good, then I say yes to it.”
“I don’t think about how big a success it will be or what value it will add to my life. If it's really good, then I just do it. Simple.”
"Bhool Chuk Maaf" is finally set to release in theatres on May 23, which was earlier scheduled to release digitally on May 16 as the makers back then claimed ‘spirit of the nation comes first.’
