Bollywood star Patralekhaa gave a roaring shout out to her husband Rajkummar Rao hours after the trailer of his upcoming film Srikanth released on social media. Praising the actor for his dedication towards his craft, Patralekhaa wrote,"Rajjjjjjj, what an amazing trailer. I am so stoked for you and this amazing character that you played. I just want to scribble a couple of words about your journey with this character. It all started with you going to the blind school , the very next week you came home with almost a cracked rib as you were practicing blind cricket so you thought may well shut the eyes n play. I dint realize that this wasn't the scary part . The scary part began after a few days of your shoot when I saw your shoulder dropping your posture began to change. I kept yelling that you don't have to do this. At some point I thought you were going to go blind with not letting your eyes rest.. But I see you Rajuuuu, you are just the best at what you do. You devout your body & soul to the character. I consider myself lucky to be a part of your madness & super proud of you husband. But kabhi kabhi meri bhi sun liya karna yaar."
Take a look at her post below:
The trailer of Rajkummar Rao's upcoming film Srikanth release earlier today. The biopic's trailer opens with a quote by Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam flashing on the screen that reads, “Dream is not what you see while sleeping, it is something that does not let you sleep.” A few seconds later, we see a classroom full of students sitting in front of Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam. Everyone expresses what they eventually want to become. When Rajkummar Rao's turn comes, he stands up and declares, “Main desh ka pehla visually challenged president banna chahta hoon.” To this, the entire classroom laughs, mocking him. When Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam asks for his name, he replies, “Srikanth Bolla.”
