Rajkummar Rao's Biggest Box Office Success with Mr. & Mrs. Mahi
The film marks a significant milestone for Rajkummar Rao, reflecting a shift in audience preferences towards actors known for their acting prowess rather than just box office appeal. Audiences are now more willing to invest in seeing these actors on the big screen. Conversely, actors who once drew crowds purely on their star power must now rely on strong performances to attract viewers.
