Next on Rajkummar Rao's wishlist - an action film

He has proved himself indispensable in both comedy and intense stories but Rajkummar Rao says no one has offered him an out-and-out action film yet. Rao said he started learning Taekwondo at an early age and hopes he is able to showcase this side in a film soon. "Not many people know about this interest of mine in doing action, also somebody has to take that risk. Nobody can imagine me doing action, I hope someone casts me in an action film," Rao told PTI. The actor said he trained in both Taekwondo and dance before turning to acting. "I am glad I learned dance as it helped me in my acting. It helps you understand rhythm and beat. Not many people know that I am a trained martial artist and I know Taekwondo. Someday I will do a film that will be able to showcase this side of me," he said. Rao is currently busy with "Made in China", after which he will begin work on "Imli" in 2019. The role of a struggling Gujarati businessman in "Made in China" is close to the actor's heart.
