There is no element of exhibitionism in his screen presence. It would be insulting to call Raj’s presence in Hansal Mehta’s Shahid and Citylights a performance. The casting director of Wasseypur suggested Raj’s name to Hansal Mehta for Shahid.
It was because of this film that he got Shahid. But he is glad he did Gangs Of Wasseypur. Raj still doesn’t know the reason for the changes. He has rarely been a victim of role poaching or footage vandalism. Luckily for Raj, his stories have almost remained his. When he came back to Wasseypur, it wasn’t his story any more. When Raj started shooting for Anurag Kashyap’s Gangs Of Wasseypur, he was told it was the story of two characters played by Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Raj. Raj did Bejoy Nambiar’s Shaitaan as a guest appearance. After that, he sought interesting roles, not necessarily leads. Raj’s first film Love Sex Aur Dhokha came to him without much struggle. Hansal Sir believed in me and gave me Shahid, Omerta, Citylightsand Aligarh. “I don’t think I’d have been what I am today were it not for Hansal. Eager to make a success of his dreams to be an actor, he started with a small part in Ram Gopal Varma’s Rann in 2010, so technically, Raj is a Ram Gopal Varma discovery, although he came into his own with Hansal Mehta’s cinematic attention. I’ve known Rajkummar Rao from the time he was Raj Kumar Yadav.
