Rajkummar Rao becomes a 324-year-old man for Raabta!

The speaking point of the film Raabta when the trailer came out was Sushant Singh Rajput and Kriti Sanon's undisputable chemistry and Jim Sarbh's scary evil avatar. But what one may have missed is the blink and miss appearance of an old man at the end of the trailer. 

That man is none other than Rajkummar Rao who plays a 324-year-old man in the film as per to a famous daily. 

His character is there only for a brief period of time but his presence is crucial and effective in the storyline. The director Dinesh Vijan and producer Homi Adajania, as well as Rajkummar, sat down with the creative team for weeks to finalise the look. They seemingly went through 16 look tests before finalising on the last one. 

Talking about his character, Rajkummar told, "I did this friendly appearance for Dinoo (Vijan) and Homi. It was too much fun. Dinoo gave me a lot of freedom as an actor. The prosthetic make-up would take hours to put on and take off. I sweat profusely under a thick layer of make-up. It needed quite a bit of patience."

Dinesh further added, "The idea of prosthetics making him look totally unrecognisable excited him. He was kind enough me to do me a favour. Though tedious, he sat through it."

Rajkummar even posted a still of his character from the film and it will surely shock you. He looks absolutely unrecognisable. 


Raabta is scheduled to release on June 9, 2017.
