On the work front, both the actors will next be seen in Bheed. The film is directed by prolific director Anubhav Sinha and is jointly produced by Bhushan Kumar.
Rao's run at the movies in 2022 mirrored that of Bollywood, which witnessed only a handful of big-screen hits. The actor's two theatrical offerings - 'Badhaai Do', and 'HIT: The First Case' - failed to set the cash registers ringing, whereas his OTT offering 'Monica O My Darling' received a thunderous response. As the divide between the big-screen euphoria and the intimate experience of the digital platforms grows wider, Rao emphasises that the story matters, not the medium. "I don't choose movies on the basis of medium. Nor do [I determine] which film I should do for the big screen, and which for OTT. We should stop categorising films like that. For me, the fun lies in the process of making a movie. I am sure if we made Newton [2017] today, so many people would say it is an OTT film. But it did so well at the theatres."
