The versatile actor Rajkummar Rao who is currently on a run to explore himself and different genre of characters. The actor has been slated to play the male lead in Horror/Comedy 'Stree'.

During the promotion of film at Delhi, the cast of Stree spoke with Indian Express about the film and its experiences on the sets. Rajkummar Rao, along with Aparshakti Khurrana and Abhishek Banerjee attended the promotion event.

While the tag says 'Mard Ko Dard Hoga' they were asked about the situation during the shoot and were they all scared, Rajkummar Rao said, "We shot in many real haunted places. Especially in Bhopal, there is this place called Taj Mahal Fort. Locals told us that it is quite haunted and known to have some negative energies. They had told us to be aware. We were shooting in the night. Our director (Amar Kaushik) is a method director.

He said if this is haunted, we will shoot here. He wanted everything to be real. We were given notes that had instructions like do not wear perfumes, girls should not keep their hair open, do not go out all alone etc. We were shooting at 2:30 or 3 in the night once. One of our light boys was sitting 20-30 feet high and suddenly he fell from there. The moment he fell, he started screaming that someone pushed him. He was hurt and hospitalized for three-four days. It can make everyone scared."

However, the film trailer claimed to be inspired by true events, the actress Aparshakti Kurrana said, "The film is actually inspired by true events. There have been such incidents. This used to happen in South India where our writers Raj and DK come from. They have seen that people would actually write such things outside their house or on their walls. But the only difference is that the movie is Chanderi based."

Abhishek Banerjee added, "In fact, it did happen some years back in New Delhi. People used to say to keep onions on the entrance. So the folklores have always been part of our lives."

Further, Rao mentioned, "I think it exists everywhere. Not only in India but every part of the world, there is such folklore."

With the film slated to hit the theatres on 31^st August, it would be great to watch a unique genre evolve more in B-Town.
