Rajkumar Rao tells reporters about everyone’s reaction
Talking to New18, Rajkumar Rao revealed what made them do so, “I didn’t really read all the comments but I know a lot many people picked it up and a lot of articles were being written, in a good way. People appreciated that and it was something that was very impulsive. None of us planned it.”
