Not pressurised by anyone s expectations, says Rajkumar Rao

Mumbai March 8 (IANS) Actor Rajkumar Rao who is known for his phenomenal performances said he doesn t feel any external pressure due to the expectations people have from him as he loves to explore his characters.

I am not pressurised because of somebody s expectations in any way. I have to perform as I love acting and the whole process of shooting. And I love to explore every character I do said Rajkumar whose upcoming films Trapped and Behen Hogi Teri belong to two starkly opposite genres -- survival thriller and romantic comedy.

Asked how is his approach towards characters in these films he said: It depends on the script the character and how much it demands from me. Like Trapped is a serious film with a demanding script whereas Behen Hogi Teri is a fun film. Once you are done it is easy to come out from the character of a fun film.

About his favourite genre of the two the 32-year-old said: I really can t say. Both are equally exciting. As an actor I love pushing myself.

Asked how he feels when people await for a good film from him he said: I think this is a big compliment for me that people can vouch for a good film from me. It s a great position to be in.

About mainstream cinema the Shahid actor said that commercial cinema is going through a changing phase. All superstars are doing films like Dangal Raees Sultan . It is a wonderful change and the whole definition of commercial cinema has transformed.

In his forthcoming film Trapped Rajkumar plays a man who is trapped in his own house at a high-rise building with no escape. Produced by Phantom Films and directed by Vikramaditya Motwane it is set to release on March 17.
