Next on Rajkummar Rao's wishlist - action film

Mumbai: He has proved himself indispensable in both comedy and intense stories but Rajkummar Rao says no one has offered him an out-and-out action film yet. Rao said he started learning Taekwondo at an early age and hopes he is able to showcase this side in a film soon.

"Not many people know about this interest of mine in doing action, also somebody has to take that risk. Nobody can imagine me doing action, I hope someone casts me in an action film," said Rao. The actor said he trained in both Taekwondo and dance before turning to acting.

"I am glad I learned dance as it helped me in my acting. It helps you understand rhythm and beat. Not many people know that I am a trained martial artist and I know Taekwondo. Someday I will do a film that will be able to showcase this side of me," he said.

Rao is currently busy with Made in China, after which he will begin work on Imli in 2019. The role of a struggling Gujarati businessman in Made in China is close to the actor's heart. "It is an unusual tale of a Gujarati businessman who is an underdog. We all have dreams and we all want to make it big. I have learnt language and other aspects of Gujarati culture."
