Citylights: When Rajkummar Rao got drunk

Mumbai, May 6: Actor Rajkummar Rao, who got the National Award for ‘Shahid’, will now be seen in Hansal Mehta’s next film ‘Citylights’.
The actor is quite excited about it. Watch him talk about the film and the incident, when he drank five to six pegs of vodka to make a crucial scene in the film look real. The most amazing part of this situation is that Rajkummar Rao does not drink in real life. But hats off to him, that to deliver his best for the film, he even broke his rule of ‘don’t drink ever’.

“In real life I don’t drink at all but there is an emotional but important scene in the film where Deepak (my character in the film) comes home drunk, So I told Hansal sir ‘I want to drink, I don’t want to fake it as it won’t work otherwise’, so he said,’ok, you start’. Then I started with two-three pegs of vodka but nothing happened, I had two more pegs of it and suddenly it hit me. After five-six pegs I was gone,” said Rajkummar Rao. (Bollywood Country Report)
