Rajkummar Rao: I just want to do good films

By Murtuza Iqbal

Rajkummar Rao is undoubtedly one of the most talented actors we have in the industry. He has been a part of off-beat films as well as commercial movies.


Recently, while talking to IANS, the actor stated, "I feel very secure. I don't take the pressures of Fridays. I believe that there are some films that are for life – some are meant for life and some for both box office as well as life, such as Stree.”

"I just want to do good films. That's the only way I want my filmography to be (made up of) films I can be proud of when I turn back after 50 years and say these are films, I have done and they are all special,"  he added.

Rao was last seen on the big screen in Roohi. The movie, which also starred Janhvi Kapoor and Varun Sharma, did reasonably well at the box office.

The actor will next be seen in movies like Badhaai Do and Hum Do Humare Do. The shooting of the former is complete but the release date is not yet announced. Meanwhile, the shooting of Hum Do Humare Do is still left.

Badhaai Do also stars Bhumi Pednekar in the lead role and Hum Do Humare Do has Kriti Sanon as the female lead.

What Britain’s ban on strangulation porn really means and why campaigners say it could backfire

Highlights:

  • Government to criminalise porn that shows strangulation or suffocation during sex.
  • Part of wider plan to fight violence against women and online harm.
  • Tech firms will be forced to block such content or face heavy Ofcom fines.
  • Experts say the ban responds to medical evidence and years of campaigning.

You see it everywhere now. In mainstream pornography, a man’s hands around a woman’s neck. It has become so common that for many, especially the young, it just seems like part of sex, a normal step. The UK government has decided it should not be, and soon, it will be a crime.

The plan is to make possessing or distributing pornographic material that shows sexual strangulation, often called ‘choking’, illegal. This is a specific amendment to the Crime and Policing Bill. Ministers are acting on the back of a stark, independent review. That report found this kind of violence is not just available online, but it is rampant. It has quietly, steadily, become normalised.
