RAJKUMMAR NEEDS QUALITY CONTROL

WHEN Aashiqui became a blockbuster in 1990, its lead star Rahul Roy went on a signing

spree without looking at the quality of projects and that ultimately destroyed his career.


Now Rajkummar Rao, who has broken into the big time, seems to be doing the same thing, and is signing loads of projects without really thinking about the quality. His two 2018 films – including recent release Fanney Khan – have bombed and he has another movie out later

this month, Stree, which is also likely to flop. Meanwhile some of his other films are trying to find buyers and he has signed a stack more. This could lead to the talented actor’s

undoing.
