Actor Rajkummar Rao has recently delivered the blockbuster Stree 2 and opened up about how times he was replaced or dropped from projects.
There have been instances when the actor was dropped from a project for one reason or another. But according to the actor, such instances don't highlight his failure but that of the makers themselves.
He has recently spoken on the Audible podcast *The Longest Interview*, saying, "There were a couple of times when everything was going well, and then for some reason, I was dropped from the film. That wasn't my failure, was their failure of not handling it right. Those experiences taught me to always be prepared.".
He also added that in retrospect, it was perhaps for the best- either the movie was never made or his role was not what it came out to be.
"I guess when the universe has to take you someplace, the universe does it right", he said.
And how he manifested to work on 'Kai Po Che'.
Sharing the interesting story, he said, "I enjoyed reading *The Three Mistakes of My Life* by Chetan Bhagat. Before that, one of his other books, *One Night at the Call Center*, had already been adapted into a film, so I knew he was a writer whose books were getting turned into movies".
"I still remember, when I was new in Bombay, I read *Three Mistakes of My Life* and actually manifested it to the universe. There are three characters in the book, and I hoped that if a film happens, I'll land one of those. I hadn't said which, but I wanted it really badly and *Kai Po Che!* happened. It's surreal but true," he added.
