Talking about whether the pressure to appear attractive is equivalent for male actors compared to their female colleagues, the Stree actor said, “It's the same. I don't think it's any different. Maybe not so bad that they talk about your chappals. But it happened to me recently, so I know."

"One wrong angle, one wrong picture, one wrong moment captured, and people would just talk about it for no reason," he added.

Rajkummar further shared, "I don't know how it became like this. It was never like this. Now, you go to the airport and wonder what if there are paps there yar."

"I'm not carrying my cap, it's a bad hair day, the picture will come, and there will be bad comments. That pressure is there. It's so weird."

Regarding his professional endeavor, Rajkummar will be next seen in Srikanth, Mr. & Mrs. Mahi, Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video, and Stree 2.
