The ALT Balaji online streaming show will be directed by Rao’s frequent collaborator, Hansal Mehta. The web series will try to showcase the untold story of Netaji’s life. The series also stars female actor Patralekhaa. She will play the role of an elitist Bengali woman. The web series premieres on Independence Day.

However, these is not his official first look. Filmmaker Hansal Mehta says the half bald image of Rajkummar Rao is not final, but a test look for the web series “Bose”. On his part, the actor has confirmed he has got his hair cut.

“The picture of Rajkummar Rao floating around as a first look in the ‘Bose’ biopic is not his first look. It is a test picture. Please wait,” Mehta tweeted on Friday.

On the work front, his film Behen Hogi Teri starring Shruti Hassan will be releasing next month. The film tells the story of a Lucknow-ka-vella, who is scared of being friend zoned, or should we say ‘bhai-zoned’, by his crush who happens to be living in the same neighbourhood. In India, there is this society imposed custom of treating the girl next door more like a sister, than a friend. Clearly, Rajkummar Rao’s character hates that!

Earlier this year, he was seen in Trapped.
