Rajkummar Rao, star of the successful film Stree 2 alongside Shraddha Kapoor, recently explained why he dropped 'Yadav' from his surname. He shared that the name change from Rajkummar Yadav to Rajkummar Rao was not due to Bollywood traditions but to avoid confusion with other Rajkummars in the industry. Rao noted that his passport only lists him as Rajkummar and that using 'Rao' helps distinguish him from others like Rajkummar Hirani or Rajkummar Santoshi.

On the success of Stree 2, Rao expressed his delight and gratitude, noting that the film's box office numbers far exceeded expectations. He highlighted the joy in knowing that many people went to theaters to watch the film, appreciating the support and enthusiasm from audiences.
