Rajkummar Rao On Stree's Unexpected Success: It’s One Of The Most Profitable Films Of The Year

Rajkummar Rao-Shraddha Kapoor starrer Stree has broken records and crossed the Rs 100 crore mark at the box office, but Rao says he does not think he has achieved a star status in Bollywood. The actor is on a golden run, especially since 2017, with his film garnering not only the audience's love but box office points as well.

"I just don't think about stardom, I have never thought about it that way. I like working, I love my job, and that's what I do. I can't work under pressure, all these things can add pressure. For me, it is my job and I strive to do it in the best way possible," Rajkummar told reporters.

The actor was speaking at the success bash of Stree. Rajkummar said he was humbled by the response the horror-comedy received, though he never gets caught up in the numbers game.

"I don't really think about the box office but I want my films to do well. I knew that we've made a good film. However, none of us expected the film to do so well at the box office, and that it is still running everywhere. It is definitely one of the most profitable films of the year," he added.

When asked about the status of the film's sequel, the actor said, "Just wait for a couple of more months for more details on this. We are definitely looking at 'Stree 2'. We should start shooting early next year."

Directed by Amar Kaushik, Stree also featured Shraddha Kapoor, Pankaj Tripathi, Aparshakti Khurrana and Abhishek Banerjee in key roles.

Rajkummar Rao will be next seen in Mental opposite Kangana Ranaut and Made In China, opposite Mouni Roy. The actor has already carved a niche for himself and we just can't wait to watch him on screen again!
