Rao shared how he informed his parents about performing a “bu*t-naked scene” in LSD. Talking about their reaction, he revealed that his mother was “very sweet” about it and even encouraged him to do so as it was his job. During an interview with India Today, quoted by Pinkvilla, the 39-year-old actor said, “I informed my parents and my mother was very sweet. She said, ‘If it's a part of your job, you are an actor, if you think it's very very important, then yeah. Go for it’.”

Further in the interview, Rajkummar was asked if he had any non-negotiable factors in his mind during the initial stage of his career and if he had changed his mind about them over the years. He revealed that he had no qualms about going out of his comfort zone to play certain roles, if the character demanded it. The Bareilly Ki Barfi actor shared that the role has to be “convincing.” Recalling his bold scene in LSD, he stated that back then it wasn’t “cleared by the Censor Board” and it was “blurred” during the release of the film. 

The Queen actor went on to add that he felt scared as it was his “big break,” however he couldn’t refuse the role over his comfort. He added that the reason behind him agreeing to play the role was because he acknowledged that such opportunity may never come again. Rajkummar went on to state that if a filmmaker has to convince him of a role or a scene, they have to make him believe that the film cannot be made without it. 


On the work front, Rajkummar Rao was last seen in Stree 2. Produced by Maddock Films, the film is a part of the the production house’s horror-comedy universe and it marks the return of Rajkummar Rao and Shraddha Kapoor. The first film was released in 2018. The film also stars Abhishek Bannerjee, Tamannaah Bhatia, Aparshakti Khurana, Pankaj Tripathi, Vijay Raaz, and Flora Saina in pivotal roles. The plot of the film revolves around sarkate ka aatank (the terror of the headless man).
