It was an emotional wrap-up for Rajkummar Rao, who recently completed shooting for his upcoming biopic Nikam. The actor, known for his extraordinary ability to disappear into every role, received a deeply touching handwritten letter from his team as filming concluded.
Sharing the note on his Instagram story, Rajkummar wrote, “Thank you so much Team #Nikam. This letter has my heart ❤️.”
The letter, written by the film’s direction team, is a heartfelt tribute to Rajkummar’s craft and dedication. It reads like a love letter to his artistry one that speaks of admiration, gratitude, and inspiration.
“It’s hard to imagine being on set without your grace… Watching you build Ujjwal Nikam has been such a privilege.” The team praised his journey from Shahid to Nikam, calling it “nothing short of inspiring” and describing him as someone who makes everyone around him want to do better. “You make people want to do better. You make it all feel simple, yet grand,” the note read perfectly capturing the quiet brilliance Rajkummar brings to his performances.
Over the years, Rajkummar Rao has built a reputation as one of India’s most dependable and transformative actors. From Shahid to Newton, Trapped, Badhaai Do, and this year’s Srikanth, he has continuously raised the bar for performance-driven cinema.
Whether it’s playing an underdog, a dreamer, or a real-life hero, Rajkummar approaches every character with rare authenticity. His portrayal of Ujjwal Nikam, one of India’s most renowned public prosecutors, is expected to be yet another milestone in his already remarkable filmography.
Directed by Avinash Arun, Nikam is a biopic on Ujjwal Nikam, the celebrated public prosecutor known for handling some of India’s most high-profile cases, including the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks trial. The film is said to explore not only Nikam’s professional triumphs but also the emotional resilience and moral conviction behind his courtroom victories. Filming for Nikam began in October 2025, and Rajkummar reportedly immersed himself in extensive research to bring authenticity to the role.
After Nikam, Rajkummar’s plate remains full — with multiple films in different genres that continue to showcase his versatility. From intense dramas to heartfelt comedies, he has been on a creative high, consistently impressing audiences and critics alike. As Nikam moves into post-production, anticipation builds to see how Rajkummar will bring Ujjwal Nikam’s unwavering sense of justice and integrity to life.
The letter from Team Nikam ended on an emotional note: “This wrap doesn’t feel like an ending. It feels like that moment after a long connection when you don’t really want to leave.” And perhaps that’s the truest reflection of Rajkummar Rao’s impact he doesn’t just play characters; he leaves behind a piece of himself in every story.
