Rajkummar Rao had a busy year last year. Even as his films — Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga, Judgementall Hai Kya and Made In China — released, he continued to shoot for Ludo with Anurag Basu and Chhalaang with Hansal Mehta among other things. BT had reported that the actor will be on a two-week holiday with his partner Patralekhaa towards the end of the year. Back in the city now, Rajkummar continues to be on a break from work till the end of March.

When we met the actor recently and asked if he was exhausted with his hectic schedule, he said, “No, I am not tired; I’m never tired of work and creating new characters never bores me. I mean, look at Amit ji (Amitabh Bachchan). Even at his age, he’s not tired. He’s always at work. So, who are we to feel any fatigue? But sometimes, I just think that it’s important to sit back and assess what you need to do next before you get down to doing it. Also, I enjoyed my time travelling across Switzerland, Paris and Italy during the New Year’s break. So, now I am on this three-month break till the end of March maybe. Till then, I will conserve my energy, and when I jump into work, I will be fully revitalised.”
