Rajkummar Rao is ready for the film ‘Mr. and Mrs. Mahi’ coming under the banner of Karan Johar. The actor recently sat down with Karan and his co-star Janhvi Kapoor for a fun conversation about their film and acting journey. During the conversation, Rajkumar told Karan about losing films to star kids. Speaking about the insider-outsider debate, Karan said, “Sometimes they are using it as a toll to make headlines. Even successful people are saying that I was an outsider and I did not get the job because of being a star kid. Someone was saying that if I did not attend the party, I did not get the role. I don’t know in which party films are offered.
Responding to Karan’s statement, Rajkumar Rao said, when I came to Mumbai, I was told that you will have to attend parties and make contacts. There is no problem in attending a party, but going there and saying that I have come here to make contacts becomes a bit strange. I was cast in a film. Suddenly he was thrown out overnight. It came to light that my role has been given to someone I know who is also a star kid. The only thing that came to my mind was that this is not right. Someone takes advantage of his power because he can control things by making some calls
