Rajkummar Rao Talks About His Omerta Character Ahmed Omar Saeed Sheikh!
Rajkummar Rao, who is playing the role of a real life terrorist Ahmed Omar Saeed Sheikh in Omerta says that he had to get into the skin of the character to know how they think and what they need!
Rajkummar
Rao's
Omerta
trailer
shocked
the
audiences
and
left
them
gasping
for
breath
as
to
how
a
well-to-do
man
from
the
United
Kingdom
named
Ahmed
Omar
Saeed
Sheikh
who
was
studying
at
the
prestigious
London
School
of
Economics,
left
all
his
richness
behind
and
went
on
to
become
a
terrorist,
who
was
most
wanted
not
only
in
India,
but
in
the
United
States
and
the
United
Kingdom
as
well.
Rajkummar
Rao
opened
up
about
his
character
to
HT
by
saying,
"He
has
his
own
ideologies
and
his
own
beliefs,
and
when
I
was
playing
him,
I
had
to
believe
in
those
ideologies.
Otherwise,
I
strongly
condemn
them.
What
he
does
is
inhuman
and
you
cannot
justify
them.
But
the
fact
is,
he
is
the
truth
of
today's
world.
He's
still
living,
he's
got
a
family,
he
comes
from
a
well-to-do
family,
he
has
a
wife
-
everything
which
makes
him
human."
He
further
commented,
"It
talks
about
boys,
this
is
happening
even
today.
Young,
intelligent
boys
who
could
have
been
something
and
participated
in
making
society
a
better
place
to
live
in,
chose
this
path
and
chose
to
be
these
evil
minds
and
created
so
much
violence
in
the
world."
"Why
do
they
do
that?
Even
now
we
know
that
boys
from
Sri
Lanka
and
Bangladesh
and
India
are
joining
various
terrorist
groups
and
getting
brainwashed
through
WhatsApp
messages,
which
is
so
scary.
They
are
very
gullible
boys,
very
fragile.
We
as
a
society,
as
responsible
citizens,
have
to
do
something
about
it,"
Rajkummar
Rao
summed
it
up
to
HT.

previously

deeply
