Ever since the release of his first film Aamir , telly-star-turned-movie-actor Rajeev Khandelwal has been getting offers from Bollywood.
With his successful transition from small screen to silver screen, Rajeev has silenced his detractors and embarked on a promising Bollywood career. UTV’s Spotboy, the company that produced ‘Aamir’, has already roped in Rajeev for another film to be directed by John Owen who is a British filmmaker presently based in India.
Titled Peter Gaya Kaam Se , the movie will have Rajeev playing a taxi-bike driver in Goa. Taxi bikes are common in Goa and Rajeev is determined to learn to drive one deftly for his role in the film.
The movie will be shot in Goa after the monsoons.
Apart from this, Rajeev has also given his nod to a film by Tanuja Chandra . The movie will be based on a story written by Tanuja’s mom Kamna who has previously penned scripts for Vidhu Vinod Chopra , Raj Kapoor and Yash Chopra .
The film is an intense love story set in a small Indian town in 1970s or 80s. Though Rajeev has agreed to play the film’s leading man, he has reportedly requested Tanuja to change the story’s setting from 70s to the present times so that a wide number of audience can identify with it.
Not just this, a source says Rajeev has begun getting offers from Bollywood on regular basis. However, he is not getting carried away and doing only very selective films.
