Mumbai July 8 Rajkummar Rao recalls how Hansal Mehtas 2017 release "Omerta" allowed him to push his boundary as an actor."Omar in Omerta is certainly one of the most challenging characters I have ever played on screen.

It's a journey of one of the most deadly terrorists of our times and Hansal sir pushed me out of my boundaries to explore," said Rajkummar, about the film that saw him essay Omar Saeed Sheikh, British terrorist of Pakistani descent."This wasn't an easy film to make, with multiple locations, adverse weather conditions and often limited resources.

After having made films like 'Shahid', 'Citylights' and 'Aligarh' together, we were exploring a character's inner darkness through this film's protagonist Omar Sheikh. This is a film I'm very proud of. 'Omerta' is an important document of our times," he said of the film, which streams on the Zee5 July 25 onwards.( With inputs from IANS )
