Raj Kumar Rao on the cover page of The Man Magazine October 2018 Issue

“Raj Kumar Rao, the National Award winner personality from Shahid has changed the picture and impression of ‘Bollywood Raj’ in every Fan’s mind with his inevitable struggle, hope & hustle that never ended!” He has always taken his acting skills from observing individuals, their body Languages, and their accents yet as a little child on the streets of Gurugram, India.

In Raj Rao’s words “to wait for an opportunity isn’t an option if you are eager to act, do it anyway—Film yourself, showcase on social media, go for theatre, and keep going!”Furthermore, Raj Kumar adds “acting to learn on your own is a struggle first and a pride later. That’s what I had done.”

Even though Raj Kumar is a prominent Bollywood personality, on the contrary, he speaks “I am yet to accomplish that Bollywood character status in my living where I am ‘one big movie star each year’ who fans’ following waits for.” From Love, Sex Aur Dhoka as a small role perfectionist to the most-up-date film of Raj Kumar named Stree, the horror-comedy where he is one of the leads, he has stepped the stages of Glamorous with total sophistication and hard work.

Some of the all-time great works of Rajkumar Rao comprising in Ragini MMS, Kai Po Che!, Shahid, Citylights, Aligarh, Trapped, Bareilly ki Barfi, Gangs of Wasseypur 2 and Newton has stunned the audience each time. The arousing part of Raj’s acting phase of life is that “he amazingly stands on the edging of distinction of roles & characters and creates suspense into the audience with what character would be in the next movie? This arousal is what makes great artiste in Bollywood!

Non-stop shoots, prepping for his movie roles, endorsements, interviews and travelling to exotic places—there are no dull moments in the life of Hrithik Roshan and now he is on cover of The Man Magazine, January 2017 issue.

                      

 His earlier choices were defined by looks and commercial viability. He’d rather have been on the sets of a film that he thought wasn’t ten on a scale of ten, but was at least 7.5. He prefers being creative in other ways and doesn’t always run after career and money. He keeps himself enthusiastic and loves to be engaged in activities like painting, travel the world or anything that can drive him crazy.

He’s undoubtedly a perfectionist, but Hrithik Roshan at 42 figures he can survive a dud or two like Siddarth Anands action film Bang Bang with Katrina Kaif that tanked and Ashutosh Gowarikar’s exquisite, but deplorable Mohenjo Daro.

This year and some previous year have been harsh on the actor, who suffered a back injury and then had a brain surgery in 2013.

Right now Hrithik is at peace with himself and he feels centered and content. He is having fun boot camping with his boys, going on road trips, zip lining at 300ft in the air through forests, going for 4 a.m. safaris in Africa and sleeping under the stars in the desert. Hrithik Roshans son Hridhaan and Hrehaan, are fascinated by the thought of being actors. “I tell them it’s going to be their decision, but they are open to exploring the idea,” he reveals.

Hrithik in his upcoming film Kaabil plays a blind man and there’s tremendous pressure to make moviegoers choke on their popcorn, and it looks like stars will fall into places for him.
