Actor Rajkummar Rao has once again found himself at the centre of social media chatter — this time for his unexpected new look. The Stree star made a recent public appearance that quickly went viral, with fans dissecting every detail of his changed appearance.
Rajkummar Rao’s new look in a viral video
Rajkummar Rao can be seen wearing a smart all-black attire in the viral videos. He chose a basic shirt and distressed jeans for a timeless, stylish look, finishing the look with white sneakers and glasses.
However, his patchy beard and moustache—a change from his typically clean-shaven appearance—attracted the most attention.
Netizens react to Rajkummar Rao’s new look
Reacting to the video, one user wrote, “What happened to Rajkummar Rao? Too much hair loss all of a sudden?”
Another commented, “Different shades of Rajkummar Rao… but this latest look genuinely shocked me. I could barely recognise him. Honestly, he never had conventional charm. What he had was uniqueness. Now even that feels replaced by something overly polished and artificial.”
One user said, “He is playing Sourav Ganguly in his biopic.”
A fan also stated, “This appears to be a look for a film. It’s too specific, the common man’s hair, the glasses, and the subtle expression. We know he doesn’t appear like this in public as Rajkummar.”
What’s Rajkummar Rao’s next project?
Filming for Rajkummar Rao’s planned biographical film about former Indian cricketer Sourav Ganguly is anticipated to start in March 2026. According to reports, the actor is also starring in a biography about the famous public prosecutor Ujjwal Nikam. Many admirers, however, speculated that the appearance might be for a future project.
