Hyderabad: It’s been almost 12 years for Rajkummar Rao in the movies. With a filmography that boasts of brave choices, he has become one of the most prominent acting talents in the country. Throw any role at him and he will deliver a flawless performance every time.

As his new release ‘Badhaai Do’ hit the screens on Friday, which is based on the concept of lavender marriage, Rajkummar spoke about how it’s high time that stories from small towns travel an extra mile, his character and conversations with his director Harshavardhan Kulkarni (who is also a fellow FTII alumnus of the actor).

“The writing team has worked very hard on it, they have been working on the script for the last 2 years now. It had also gone through multiple drafts and a lot of people from the (LGBTQ) community were also involved in the script writing. So, it has been written in a very sensitive way even after keeping the entertainment part intact.” He calls it one of the best written material that he has ever come across.

Rajkummar credits the medium of OTT for bringing in a broad range of stories to the forefront. “It (OTT) has been giving rise to a lot of diverse stories. I also believe that our country or the major population of our country lives in small towns, there are so many stories and characters from those places.”

However, he admits that storytellers need to constantly move ahead in terms of crafting fresh stories to avoid the lull slipping into narratives. “I guess now we have to bring something different to it. The kind of films that Anubhav (Sinha) sir has been making or for example, even films like ‘Stree’ and ‘Dum Laga Ke Haisha’ are small town films, but there is a lot more to them. I would like to be a part of small town films, but there has to be something unique about it,” he said.
