Actor
Rajkummar
Rao
says
for
him,
the
process
of
acting
is
extremely
pure
and
he
never
lets
ego
come
in
the
way.
Rao
has
been
paired
with
Kangana
Ranaut
for
a
quirky
thriller,
"Mental
Hai
Kya".
The
film
reunites
the
two
actors
after
"Queen".
Post
"Queen",
things
changed
for
Ranaut
and
today
Rao
is
known
for
his
popularity
in
both
critically
and
commercially
acclaimed
films.
Asked
if
there
would
be
ego
clashes
as
both
Ranaut
and
him
have
become
big
stars,
Rao
said,
"No.
Trust
me,
for
me
acting
is
not
about
ego.
It
is
something
very
pure,
it's
about
dealing
with
pure
emotions
(so),
how
can
you
put
your
ego
in
that?" he
said
while
talking
to
reporters
here.
The
movie
will
be
directed
by
National
Award-winner
Prakash
Kovelamudi
and
produced
by
Ekta
Kapoor's
Balaji
Motion
Pictures
and
Shaailesh
R
Singh's
Karma
Media.
"We
haven't
started
shooting
yet.
But
I
really
like
Kangana.
We
have
done
a
film
together,
'Queen',
which
is
a
cult.
So,
I
am
obviously
looking
forward
to
get
to
the
sets
now,"
Rao
said
on
the
new
film.
He
was
speaking
at
the
News
18
Reel
movie
awards
last
night.
The
actor
is
currently
shooting
with
Shraddha
Kapoor
for
horror
comedy,
"Stree".
"We
are
getting
into
the
last
schedule
now.
It
is
shaping
up
pretty
well.
I
am
really
excited
for
the
release.
It
is
going
very
good.
Shraddha
is
a
very
hardworking
and
dedicated
actor,"
he
said.
Written
by
Raj
Nidimoru
and
Krishna
DK,
"Stree"
is
directed
by
Amar
Kaushik
and
produced
by
Dinesh
Vijan
through
his
company
Maddock
Films.
