Rajkummar Rao goes to great lengths to bring authenticity to his roles. After surviving on coffee and two carrots daily for 20 days to play a starving man in 'Trapped' (2016), and then shaving off his crown for a web series on Subhash Chandra Bose, Raj consumed a large quantity of alcohol for a scene in the rom-com 'Behen Hogi Teri'. The scene portrayed his character in an inebriated state.

Raj, otherwise a teetotaller, reveals that the crew was delighted to learn of his willingness to have vodka. "They offered all kinds of drinks to me because they knew alcohol is a no-no for me. Though I was aware of my surroundings while intoxicated, I had to make it a point to consciously remember my lines and listen to other actors."

A unit hand says, "Rajkummar gulped an entire bottle of vodka for the part. While it was a three-minute scene, the makers and he were enjoying it so much, they kept the cameras rolling for almost 30 minutes." The actor downed vodka shots while dubbing too, to recreate the slur of an intoxicated man.
