Taking to social media on February 16, 2026, the National Award-winning actor reflected on his process-driven approach to performance and his commitment to authenticity. “My being is through my Art. Just finished shooting for my next Biopic #NIKAM and yes, it has demanded me to change physically which I love doing,” he wrote. No Prosthetics, Only Hard Work Rao reiterated his preference for physical transformation over prosthetics, emphasizing that he believes in achieving a character’s look through discipline and preparation. “I’m not a believer in prosthetics as long as I can achieve the look through my hardwork which I’ve achieved in Nikam be it gaining weight or looking old (to play a certain age) or to make my hair thin which my hair stylist was very much against,” he shared. Drawing parallels with his earlier performances, Rao recalled the resistance he faced while altering his appearance for past films. “Everyone told me to not go half bald for BOSE also and to gain that much weight or to Not stop eating and lose so much weight for TRAPPED or to not behave like a visually impaired person even when cameras weren’t rolling during SRIKANTH,” he added.
