Critically acclaimed actor, Rajkummar Rao has been in the industry for quite some time now, but it is in recent years that his performances have caught everyone's attention. 

Post the success of 'Kai Po Che', 'Shahid' and 'Queen', Rajkummar has been on a professional high. 

His success went up notches higher when he bagged the National Award in the Best Actor category for his film 'Shahid' (2013). 

The actor confesses that he never anticipated this award and how proud he is of his film. 

"I'm very proud of the film. When I heard the script, I wanted to be Shahid. Any actor would jump at an opportunity like that, and I was fortunate. Every film has its own fate, and I'm more than delighted that the movie won two National Awards," he said. 

However, Rao is keeping his fingers crossed and is not letting success hit his head.

"Let's see what difference the National Award makes to my career. I don't think much when I take on a film. If the script is good, I sign it. I have a strong intuition when it comes to movies. And frankly, I don't plan anything. I don't connect the dots that if I take this movie or make this decision then I will get that in return. I don't mind dancing around trees also if my character is good and genuinely does it. The script should make sense to me," added the actor.
