OMG! Rajkummar Rao BARES IT ALL in Hansal Mehta's 'Omerta'

He bared his butt for an emotional sequence in Shahid, the National Award-winning 2013 film, in which he essayed the role of late lawyer and human rights activist Shahid Azmi. Now Rajkummar Rao is going to push the envelope further. Mumbai Mirror has reported that the actor has bared it all in Omerta, by director Hansal Mehta, based on Ahmed Omar Saeed Sheikh, a British terrorist of Pakistani origin who is infamous for his role in the 2002 kidnapping and murder of Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl.

"It's an integral sequence involving frontal nudity where Rajkummar's character is shown having sex with a prostitute a day before he leaves for a terrorist mission. It took the makers a month to find an actress who would agree to be a part of said sequence before finally canning it in Delhi last year," a source informed.

Rajkummar is known to get under the skin of the characters he plays on screen. For Omerta, he stayed in London for a while to get the hang of Ahmed Omar Saeed Sheikh's way of life. "I like to push my limits and as an actor if I am convinced about a scene, I can do it. The butt scene in Shahid was part of an emotional sequence. However, this one is more wild. I had discussed it with Hansal sir before we shot for it," Rajkummar said.
