Rajkummar Rao jokes about a ‘shraap' behind his small-town marriage roles: 'It just happened. Nothing is conscious'
Rajkummar Rao
has played many different roles, but lately, people on Reddit think he often plays the same kind of character: a small-town man dealing with marriage problems. In 'Stree', he wants to settle down.
In 'Mr & Mrs Mahi', he's a failed cricketer living through his wife's success. In 'Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video', he and Triptii Dimri are newlyweds upset by a stolen private video. In 'Bhool Chuk Maaf', he's stuck in a time loop on his wedding day. Recently, in an interview, Rajkummar talked about why he keeps getting similar roles.

In a conversation with Hindustan Times, Rajkummar chuckled as he explained that the regular theme of weddings in his films wasn't intentional, saying, "It just happened.
Nothing is conscious." He further reflected on his connection to wedding scenes, tracing it back to his role in 'Queen', where a wedding played a significant part in the story. This early experience, he believes, set the tone for many of his subsequent roles involving weddings.

'The Fantastic Four: First Steps' Early Twitter Reviews: Netizens divided over Pedro Pascal and Vanessa Kirby starrer; say superhero film is 'Good but not quite fantastic'
Marvel Studios' long-awaited reboot 'The Fantastic Four: First Steps' is set to hit theatres this weekend, and early reactions from fans are pouring in across social media. While many viewers are calling the Pedro Pascal–Vanessa Kirby starrer a step in the right direction for the beloved superhero franchise, others are left underwhelmed, saying the film 'plays it safe' and struggles to leave a lasting impression. The initial wave of Twitter reactions paints a mixed picture. Those who loved the film, are applauding its striking visuals, character chemistry, and emotionally grounded storytelling. One fan wrote,'#TheFantasticFour is a breath of fresh air for the MCU. It delivers all the humour & action you want but it has its own cinematic language & vibe. It features some of the best world building of the MCU.' Another called the film a 'true spectacle,' adding, 'The visuals are jaw-dropping… Sue Storm is truly the heart of the film and steals every scene she's in. The team dynamic is spot-on… Galactus is utterly terrifying. You'll be on the edge of your seat.' Much of the praise has been directed toward Vanessa Kirby 's portrayal of Sue Storm, with several viewers describing her performance as a standout. One review noted,'#FantasticFour plays it safe at times, revisiting familiar beats, but elevates them in a big way… Vanessa Kirby steals the show. Gorgeous production, great score, great Kubrick/Nolan-inspired visuals. A must-see in IMAX!' The film's antagonist, Galactus, also received special mention for finally being portrayed with the depth and threatening presence fans had long hoped for. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like No annual fees for life UnionBank Credit Card Apply Now 'The most formidable villain in a cycle,' read one tweet, calling the film 'the most consistent and satisfying Marvel Universe [entry] in a long while.' But Not Everyone's Impressed However, the response hasn't been universally positive. Critics on social media have pointed out issues with pacing, character development, and even casting. One review bluntly stated, '#FantasticFour 2025 is a stylistic shell with zero soul. The retro-futuristic visuals look lifeless… the script lacks emotional weight — family 'drama' falls flat, and characters feel disconnected.' Another user described the film as rushed, writing, 'Easily best of all attempts, which isn't saying much… Has some issues, mostly the fact I think it's rushed, but cast, story, visual aesthetic, and score are all awesome. Could've been great if studio let it breathe.' Casting also came under fire, especially for Joseph Quinn's take on Johnny Storm, '#TheFantasticFour is…fine. Vanessa Kirby puts in solid work & Pedro Pascal makes a good Reed Richards, but Joseph Quinn is miscast. The storytelling feels a bit stiff.' A more critical take declared, 'It's borderline unwatchable. Such a step down from Shakman's WandaVision. Pascal and Quinn were a huge swing… and even bigger miss. Kirby's Sue is the only part worth seeing it for.' Another added. 'Fantastic Four: First Steps isn't bad, but it's not very memorable either.' Plot, Cast & Release The Fantastic Four: First Steps follows Marvel's first family — Reed Richards (Pedro Pascal), Sue Storm (Vanessa Kirby), Johnny Storm (Joseph Quinn), and Ben Grimm (Ebon Moss-Bachrach) — as they journey face the emergence of the cosmic threat, Galactus. Directed by Matt Shakman, the film releases in theatres on July 25, 2025.
