There Is No Word Like ‘Jugad’ In My Life: Rajkumar Rao

Mumbai: Rajkumar Rao who never fails to entertain audience with his fabulous acting skills on screen recently speak about the film industry which ran on connections and ‘jugad’ but they never worked in his favour when he was starting out.

The actor is happy that he achieved success in a traditional way with a combination of hard work and talent.

“When I was looking for work here, a lot of people called me ‘jugaad lagan padta hai’. You have to contact, do networking, go to parties. I had no idea about that. So I could never manage it. “I would meet the casting directors and try and call them for an audition. That’s how my journey started, “Rajkumar told reporters at the trailer launch of his latest film” Made in China.”

The actor believes that shortcuts do not work well in the long run and especially in the creative field.
“There was no jugad in my career if there was, then I would have been finished early on (in career). In any artistic life, one can go a little ahead with ‘jugad’ but ultimately it is your hard work and talent that matters,” he added.

“Whatever I am today, I am because of the audience. I came from a small town in Gurgaon. I had dreamed of being an actor and I got a lot of love from everybody. I was just here because of my work I have reached. Thank you very much, “he said.

“Made in China” will see the actor in the role of a Gujarati businessman who succeeds due to ‘Jugaad’.
The film, also starring Mouni Roy, Boman Irani, Paresh Rawal and Gajraj Rao, is directed by Mikhil Musale of the Gujarati award-winning film “Wrong Side Raju” fae.

Produced by Maddock Films in association with Jio Studios, “Made in China” is slated for a Diwali release.
