Ever
since
actor
Rajkummar
Rao
made
his
Bollywood
debut
with
Love
Sex
Aur
Dhokha,
he
has
always
maintained
that
he's
a
die-hard
Shah
Rukh
Khan
fan.
Whenever
Rao
met
Shah
Rukh
at
any
film
event
or
B-town
party,
the
actor
has
made
sure
to
click
a
picture
with
the
Superstar
just
like
any
other
die-hard
fan.
In
his
recent
tete-a-tete
with
a
leading
daily,
Rao
spoke
about
Shah
Rukh
once
again,
and
confessed
that
he's
in
the
acting
profession
only
because
of
the
Darr
actor.
"I
am
an
actor
because
of
Shah
Rukh
sir.
Seeing
him
on
screen
made
me
want
to
join
the
industry
because
I
could
connect
with
his
journey.
We
all
know
how
charming
he
is
and
how
he
makes
everyone
feel
special.
There
is
so
much
to
learn
from
him
be
it
on-screen
or
off
it," said
Rao.
He
further
added
that
Khan
taught
him
that
if
he
has
a
dream,
and
if
he
is
ready
to
work
hard,
the
dream
will
come
true.
With
respect
to
work,
Rajkummar
is
gearing
up
for
the
release
of
his
forthcoming
Netflix
film
The
White
Tiger,
wherein
he
will
be
seen
sharing
screen
space
with
Priyanka
Chopra
for
the
first
time.
When
asked
about
his
working
experience
with
the
Bajirao
Mastani
actress,
Rao
couldn't
stop
praising
her
and
said
that
she's
a
phenomenal
actress.
"Priyanka
is
phenomenal.
She
is
a
very
chilled
out
person,
a
global
star
who
never
made
us
feel
that
she
was
the
biggest
star
on
our
set.
I
have
always
been
a
big
admirer
of
her
work.
It's
fun
to
work
with
great
actors
as
it
enhances
your
performance
and
Priyanka
did
just
that
to
me.
She
even
helped
me
out
in
my
scenes.
I
look
forward
to
working
with
her
more
and
hopefully,
it
will
happen
soon,"
said
the
Chhalaang
actor.
Directed
by
Ramin
Bahrani,
The
White
Tiger
also
casts
Adarsh
Gourav
in
the
lead
role.
The
film
will
release
on
January
22,
2021
on
Netflix.
