Stree (2018) brought him mainstream success, followed by notable performances in Ludo (2020), The White Tiger (2021), Monica, O My Darling (2022), Bheed (2023), and Srikanth (2024). His portrayal of a closeted gay man in Badhaai Do (2022) won him the Filmfare Award for Best Actor. His latest release, Stree 2 (2024), marks his highest-grossing film to date. Rao's career is defined by his commitment to diverse characters and his ability to seamlessly transition between genres. His numerous awards and consistent critical praise cement his position as one of Hindi cinema's most respected and versatile actors. He is married to actress Patralekha Paul.
