Rajkummar Rao has recently opened up about his bond with two big superstars from Bollywood- Ayushmann Khurrana and Vicky Kaushal. The actor has always appreciated his contemporaries, but this time he expressed his strong connection with Ayushmann and Vicky. He stated that he can call Khurrana at any point in time randomly and with Vicky, he messages every time they see each other’s trailers or movies. Rajkummar also mentioned that there should be camaraderie among contemporaries.
In an interview with News18, Rajkummar Rao said, “Ayushmann calls me and I call him at times randomly. We just go, ‘Long time. Kaisa hai, bhai? Aise hi soch rahe the ki call kar de.’ I believe these bonds are great. There should be camaraderie among contemporaries.”
He also mentioned his bond with Vicky Kaushal and said, “When I saw Chhaava, I messaged Vicky. He also messages me every time he likes a trailer or a film featuring me. We always greet each other very warmly if we bump into each other.”
On the work front, Rajkummar Rao will be next seen in Maalik. The action thriller movie also features Medha Shankar, Manushi Chhillar, Prosenjit Chatterjee, Huma Qureshi and Saurabh Shukla in prominent roles.

Talking about the film, Rajkummar told the portal, “Yes, it’s massy and highly commercial with a lot of dialogue-baazi and action but it’s still very rooted in its texture. So, what you see onscreen will be believable. You would believe in these characters and the story. It’s not a fantasy or make-believe world where just about anything and everything is happening.”
“I’m an aware audience and when I see a film, I can differentiate which films are larger-than-life and which ones are way more violent than the others. At the same time, I know it’s all for entertainment. As long as I’m entertained and they’re done well, I enjoy watching such films,” he added.
