Rajkummar Rao is celebrating his 40th birthday today. He has received heartfelt wishes from friends and fans alike.

Varun posted a picture of the two, likely from the film’s shoot, and captioned it, “Happy Birthday Rajkummar Rao, Stay Blessed.”

Varun Dhawan plays a cameo role in Rajkummar Rao’s Stree 2, reprising his character from Bhediya as part of Maddock’s Supernatural Universe. In this film, Varun appears as a half-human, half-wolf and also joins Shraddha Kapoor and Rajkummar in the song Khoobsurat. Stree 2, which also features Pankaj Tripathi, Aparshakti Khurana and Abhishek Banerjee, hit theatres on August 15. The movie has been well-received, with fans particularly praising Shraddha and Rajkummar’s performances, as well as Varun’s intense cameo. Akshay Kumar also makes a special appearance in the film.

Meanwhile, Rajkummar Rao’s wife, actress Patralekhaa, also shared a heartwarming note for this birthday. She congratulated him for his recent successes and wished him many more blockbusters in the years to come. Patralekhaa released a video compilation from their vacation where Rajkummar can be seen playing in the snow. Along with it, Patralekhaa wrote, “Happy Birthday Raj. What a massive year you have had. Beginning with Srikanth to Mahi to Stree. We often debate to be a great actor does one have to be a good human being? The answer is yes and I can confidently say this because of you. Cheers to many more characters to many more blockbusters to your uniqueness to your burning passion for your art & to your integrity. Love you.”

Apart from Stree 2, Rajkummar Rao is having a fantastic year with back-to-back successes such as Srikanth and Mr and Mrs Mahi where he starred opposite Janhvi Kapoor. Rajkummar Rao is already preparing for new projects. On his birthday, the actor stunned fans by presenting the first poster for his upcoming film, Maalik.
