Rajeev draws inspiration from Rajni Kant and finds Prem of Rajshri charming!!
Rajeev Khandelwal is beginning his stint with the Rajshri
Productions in their coming venture,” Samrat And Co. While this time the
Rajshri’s are breaking the mold of producing romantic family drama over an adventurous thriller. Rajeev is not conceited about the fact that he is the chosen one. Well! I am happy that they have selected me to be their“Samrat.”Undeniably, Salman has been their romantic hero as
Samrat I do not draw any comparisons. I never think like I should
become the favorite of any company. If I look back, I did a film with, ”Balaji” Anurag Kashayap. H.M.V. And others. I am professional if you like my work, and feel that I suit your character and if you approach me I shall opt for the film provided I like the script. Infact when I performed in Aamir with Raj Kumar Gupta I told him we should not do any films together. Also time has its own favors to bestow upon each one of us.”Adding further about Salman he says,” We are happy to hear that Salman is doing a film with the Rajshri’s after a gap of 20 years. We will look forward to witness the charming Prem of the Rajhshri.Not many know Rajeev is quiet mysterious person.”My life is very
mysterious, I do not like to open up a lot .I am a little secretive.
People say you keep a low profile. You are not seen in Parties. I feel happy when I do some small things -I clean my cupboard. I cook food. I have a house in Goa. I peddle down on bicycle over there. People know me by now, so they do not hinder my
movements. I go to the field out there and bring some vegetables at home. These small things pep me up. I feel great. I do not get the same
pleasure while travelling in Business class. I derive this
pleasure merely because I de-mark myself…I am an
actor on the sets. Outside the house I am a common man.”So in the bargain Rajeev pleases his wife,” My wife is different she wants me to keep a P.R machinery. She feels I need to promote myself aggressively. Like all others do. Whatever we do she does not understand- like we can park our car anywhere and go on camping. People meet me, click snaps with me. I do not need four securities and do not
prefer having them when I go to a mall etc.
Whenever, I feel like I can walk into the mall. I click a photo with anyone. I move around like a normal guy.”Rajeev seems to be inspired by Rajnikanth,”
Definitely, Rajni Kant is a big inspiration for me. He loves to be a common man who can move around and talk with one and all outside the house. He has no airs what so ever. I am an actor outside and at home a common man. I have always drawn lines- I love to keep my personal life to myself.” ‘
Samrat & Co’ is a detective thriller produced by Kavita Barjatya under the Rajshri banner.By:Lipika varma
