Films Like Omerta Take Toll On Mental Health: Rajkummar Rao
Rajkummar Rao has never shied away from choosing unusual roles, but the actor says doing hard-hitting films can take a toll on a performer's mental health.
Be
it
Shahid
or
Trapped
or
yet
to
release
Omerta,
Rajkummar
Rao
has
never
shied
away
from
choosing
unusual
roles,
but
the
actor
says
doing
hard-hitting
films
can
take
a
toll
on
a
performer's
mental
health.
The
actor,
who
has
also
starred
in
Bollywood
entertainers
such
as
Bareilly
Ki
Barfi
and
Queen,
said
both
the
genres
are
equally
challenging.
"Doing
both
the
kind
of
cinema
is
difficult
as
they
have
their
own
set
of
challenges.
Doing
Omerta,
Trapped
sometimes
can
take
a
toll
on
your
mental
health,
while
doing
a
film
like
Bareilly
Ki
Barfi
will
not
affect
you," Rajkummar
said
on
the
sidelines
of
an
event.
In
his
next
film
Fanney
Khan,
which
features
Anil
Kapoor
in
the
lead
role,
Rajkummar
will
be
seen
opposite
Aishwarya
Rai
Bachchan.
The
actor
has
lost
10
kgs
for
his
role
in
the
movie.
"Losing
weight
is
not
easy
but
gaining
it
is
slightly
easy
as
you
just
have
to
hog,
eat.
Losing
weight
is
a
task
as
I
had
to
sacrifice
food.
It
was
almost
like
doing
Trapped
2
in
real
life'.
I
had
to
look
certain
way
in
Fanney
Khan.
