Rajkummar Rao's next, Stree, has him play the role of a local tailor from Madhya Pradesh. The film is a horror comedy, also featuring Shraddha Kapoor in what Rajkumar describes as a 'brilliant role.'
The actor opened up about how he prepared for his character in the Prakash Kovelamudi's directorial, to a leading daily. He revealed, "Once you sit on that chair, the coordination and reflexes are something else. You can cheat with a body double but I wanted to do everything and bought myself a sewing machine and hired a tailor in Mumbai to teach me how to sew. I also had a tailor guiding me on the sets in Chanderi".
He talked about the genre horror comedy in India and said, "I took a couple of weeks off from other projects to prep for Stree. We finished the shoot in one go. The horror-comedy genre while unexplored in our country has a huge audience".
Rajkummar is also of the opinion that Shraddha is going to surprise everyone with her performance in the film. He mentioned, "She’s phenomenal, a hard-working actor who will surprise everyone! She’s a very sweet girl and now a dear friend".
