Responding to this claim, Rajkummar Rao shared that upon his move to Bombay (Mumbai), he received advice to attend parties and build connections. He emphasized that attending parties solely for networking purposes felt disingenuous to him.

Rao disclosed losing a role to a star kid, stating, "In my case, what happened was, I was supposed to do a film. And then I was not in that film overnight. Somebody who's known and happened to be a star kid got that part. I would think, of course, that it's not fair. Just because you can control things, you know people, you cannot do this; it's unfair."

Meanwhile, Rajkummar was recently seen in Srikanth. The biopic movie is directed by Tushar Hiranandani while the script has been penned by Jagdeep Sidhu and Sumit Purohit.
