He
has
proved
himself
indispensable
in
both
comedy
and
intense
stories
but
Rajkummar
Rao
says
no
one
has
offered
him
an
out-and-out
action
film
yet.
Rao
said
he
started
learning
Taekwondo
at
an
early
age
and
hopes
he
is
able
to
showcase
this
side
in
a
film
soon.
"Not
many
people
know
about
this
interest
of
mine
in
doing
action,
also
somebody
has
to
take
that
risk.
Nobody
can
imagine
me
doing
action,
I
hope
someone
casts
me
in
an
action
film," Rao
told
PTI.
The
actor
said
he
trained
in
both
Taekwondo
and
dance
before
turning
to
acting.
"I
am
glad
I
learned
dance
as
it
helped
me
in
my
acting.
It
helps
you
understand
rhythm
and
beat.
Not
many
people
know
that
I
am
a
trained
martial
artist
and
I
know
Taekwondo.
Someday
I
will
do
a
film
that
will
be
able
to
showcase
this
side
of
me,"
he
said.
Rao
is
currently
busy
with
Made
in
China,
after
which
he
will
begin
work
on
Imli
in
2019.
The
role
of
a
struggling
Gujarati
businessman
in
Made
in
China
is
close
to
the
actor's
heart.
"It
is
an
unusual
tale
of
a
Gujarati
businessman
who
is
an
underdog.
We
all
have
dreams
and
we
all
want
to
make
it
big.
I
have
learnt
the
language
and
the
other
aspects
of
the
Gujarati
culture."
Directed
by
the
National
Award-winning
Gujarati
filmmaker
Mikhail
Musale,
the
film
also
stars
Mouni
Roy
and
Boman
Irani
and
will
hit
the
screens
on
Independence
Day
in
2019.
Rao
said
he
is
thrilled
to
be
reteaming
with
Kangana
Ranaut
for
the
third
time
for
Anurag
Basu's
Imli.
The
two
have
worked
together
in
Queen
(2014)
and
their
upcoming
film
Mental
Hai
Kya
is
set
to
hit
cinema
houses
in
February
2019.
"The
collaboration
is
going
to
be
great.
There
is
a
comfort
level
as
we
have
known
each
other
for
a
while.
She
is
a
wonderful
actress.
I
feel
happy
when
I
get
a
good
co-actor
because
then
you
are
as
good
as
your
co-actor.
"I
am
a
huge
fan
of
Anurag
Basu,
he
is
one
of
the
most
talented
directors
in
the
film
industry.
I
am
very
excited
about
it.
I
will
start
shooting
early
next
year,"
he
said.
