More often than not, with Rajkummar Rao, you can be assured of a good film. Such is the credibility he has built in his 12-year run in the movies. That his latest offering, Monica O My Darling, is helmed by Vasan Bala, only inspires more confidence. So, was Bala the primary reason to say yes to the Netflix film? That, and the genre, says the actor. “I am a sucker for thrillers. They are so engaging, and keep you on the edge of your seat. Plus, I loved my character arc. He gets into something fishy every 20 minutes. I loved the way the script was written,” he shares.

The film also stars Huma Qureshi
