Rajkummar Rao scared to play Subhash Chandra Bose

TIL Desk Bollywood/ Despite having played characters inspired by real life personalities, actor Rajkummar Rao says he is scared to enact Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose on screen. He will be seen as Netaji in a new digital series, to be produced by Ekta Kapoor’s ALT Balaji. The web series will try to showcase the untold story of Netaji’s life.

The actor says he is currently tied up with the shooting of “Behen Hogi Teri”, post which he will dive into the web series. “I am too scared right now. I have to finish ‘Behen Hogi Teri’ and then get right into that zone to seriously start preparing for it. It is a huge responsibility to play Netaji,” Rajkummar told.

The National Award-winning actor, best known for working in biopics like “Shahid” and “Aligarh”, has already started researching for the role. “He is a national figure, people love him, I love him. It is very exciting. It’s a web series. But the process is the same no matter if it’s web or a feature film,” he said.
