Rajkummar Rao’s Journey as Mr Mahi
One of Bollywood’s most flexible performers, Rajkummar Rao, plays Mr Mahi, a former cricket player who has had his fair share of hardships in the eagerly awaited world television premiere on &pictures. Now, his role has changed to that of a committed coach, guiding Mahima, played by the gifted Janhvi Kapoor, as she follows her cricketing aspirations. The narrative is about the depth of relationships, the value of support, and how love may flourish even in the face of personal setbacks and aspirations—not only about cricket.
According to Rajkummar, Mr. Mahi is a complicated person. He is a man with personal unmet aspirations, a mentor, and a friend. But his path is about helping Mahima find her place in the world of cricket and simultaneously benefiting from their relationship; it is not just about him.

According to Rajkummar, Mr. Mahi is a complicated person. He is a man with personal unmet aspirations, a mentor, and a friend. But his path is about helping Mahima find her place in the world of cricket and at the same time learning from their link, not only about him.”
Preparing for the Role
Rajkummar gave his preparation much thought if he were to present Mr. Mahi realistically. Usually known for totally becoming his characters, this occasion was no different. He trained with professional cricketers on the pitch for several hours. “Understanding the technical aspects of cricket was crucial for me, but as vital for the emotional side of athletic life. It’s about the attitude, the strain, and how sportsmen handle their challenges, not only about the game,” he says.
Rajkummar also makes clear that it goes beyond simply knowing cricket. Given the relationship between Mr. Mahi and Mrs. Mahi, portrayed by Janhvi, complexity was a truly difficult task. “We had several reading sessions, and Sharan (the director) pushed us to discuss our characters thoroughly, which greatly helped to expose the emotional layers in the movie.”

What Attracted Rajkummar to the Film?
Rajkummar talks about his love of stories emphasising relationships when asked what drew him to Mr. and Mrs. Mahi. “Films exploring human emotions and relationships always captivate me. This movie revolves on two ambitious people as well as the way love and encouragement could help them overcome personal obstacles. Playing a guy who is not just helping his partner but also battling with his ambitions intrigued me.
He also acknowledges director Sharan for crafting a delicate story outside of the realm of athletics. “Sharan is a very sensitive director; the way he has spun the tale of love, ambition, and cooperation truly spoke to me.”
Importance of Supportive Relationships
Rajkummar firmly feels that in life as much as in movies, a loving relationship is absolutely essential. In Mr. and Mrs. Mahi, his character is not only that of a coach but also a tower of support for Mahima. In relationships, he says, ” mutual respect and support are absolutely vital. It’s about raising each other and developing collectively, not only about one person achieving while the other watches.”
Rajkummar can relate to this idea personally. True relationships, he underlines, are about understanding, encouraging, and supporting each other to grow better versions of ourselves. “That’s what makes the relationship in the film so special – both Mr and Mrs Mahi develop together, face challenges, and finally find strength in each other.”
Working with Janhvi Kapoor
Rajkummar and Janhvi Kapoor have collaborated past-due, and their on-screen connection echoes their friendship off-screen. “Janhvi is really gifted and has contagious on set. I respect her commitment to her trade, and over time we have had a wonderful working relationship,” Rajkummar says.
In Mr. & Mrs. Mahi, the relationship between the two characters is important to the narrative; Rajkummar notes their great rapport for giving the scenes natural flow. “Working with someone when you respect them makes things simple. We both motivate one another to perform, and this is seen on television.
A Message of Love, Support, and Resilience
Rajkummar expects viewers will pick up a significant lesson from Mr. and Mrs. Mahi as it airs on television. “This is about connections, support, and resiliency—not only about cricket. According to my character, occasionally achieving your aspirations is not as vital as being there for another person. The movie masterfully shows how family, knowledge, and cooperation may all help one conquer any challenge.”
He says, “I want viewers to realise that love and encouragement have great power. Two people lifting each other will be able to meet any obstacle and accomplish something amazing together
