Omerta (2017) In Omerta, Rajkummar steps into the shoes of a terrorist, playing a character that is chillingly cold and calculating. It’s a far cry from his usual roles [{ "selector": ".imaoe-a", "duration": "1000ms", "fill": "forwards", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateX(-309px)", "opacity": "1"}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateX(0)", "opacity": "1"} ] }]

Newton (2017) Rajkummar plays Newton Kumar, an election officer determined to uphold democracy in a conflict-ridden area. This one’s a slow burn but incredibly rewarding.

Shahid (2013) Based on the real-life story of lawyer and human rights activist Shahid Azmi, Shahid is one of Rajkummar’s most powerful performances [{ "selector": ".imaoe-a", "duration": "1000ms", "fill": "forwards", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateX(-309px)", "opacity": "1"}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateX(0)", "opacity": "1"} ] }]
