I didn't know if I would be able to do it: Rajkummar Rao about playing Srikanth

The movie highlights the struggles of Srikanth's life, from getting admission to a science stream to how he built his empire. Ahead of the release of Srikanth, Rajkummar opened up about how he prepared for the role and how the movie pushed him out of his comfort zone. In an interview with PTI, the actor said, "I love challenges. And, something that scares me excites me even more. And 'Srikanth' did that to me. I've never played a visually impaired man before. I didn't know if I would be able to do it. But that's the fun where you push yourself out of your comfort zone. There was so much research that had to be done. Whenever I get an opportunity like that, I totally cherish it."
