‘Sujal’ finally gets a new job...

Rajiv Khandelwal will play the lead in new CID thriller

Subhash K Jha

He is the highest paid actor on television, yet jobless by choice. Rajiv Khandelwal who has been on the look-out for a challenging serial after his exit from Kahiin To Hoga, has finally found a new television project to suit his taste.

The extraordinarily prolific 'house of thrillers', Fireworks, has roped in Khandelwal to play the lead in a new thriller. "It took us some time to convince Rajiv to do the project," says B.P.Singh Fireworks' head honcho. "He had once done a cameo for us on CID Special Bureau. This cameo made a tremendous impact. Now we've convinced him to do a one-hour weekly thriller with a supernatural touch."

B.P.Singh's CID has lasted for eight years. It returns to Sony TV in March again. "Viewers will be surprised to see Rakesh Bedi in the forensic lab, this time," says Singh. "We've continued CID for very long, but we've constantly re-invented ourselves. Last year we did a whole episode of CID in one shot. The new edition of the Guinness Book Of Records mentions this episode which lasted 111 minutes. This couldn't have been done on film because the length of a film reel is ten minutes only. We telecast that episode without a break in the feature-film slot and we were surprised to see that TV viewers had the patience to watch CID uninterrupted for two hours."

"Now our company plans to detour from the thriller genre," reveals Singh. "We're going to produce soaps too, although thrillers will remain our USP. Right now we're working on four soaps. We know Ekta Kapoor is the queen of soaps. But we'll try to do something that'll surprise soap viewers."

to tell the truth guys, i am not exactly thrilled about this. i want to see him do romantic roles and not thrillers.

This is great news, finally he's back. We all love Rajeev in love stories, but we should give him a chance to do different roles and experiment. In this way he will only grow more and more as an actor

exactly Shruti im also not thrilled to know this ,but every actor is not like Rajeev who believes in experimenting and he is doing this exactly. So let him try his luck, may be this time also it will work which i doubt very much. He has to understand this that people wants to watch him in a romantic role. Besides this he should sighn something romantic also.

Wooohoooo 👏 I dont believe dis...mai sapna toh nahee dehkri 😳 our rajeev is going to b back on screen once again 👏 its the time to disco...lalalalala.... 😃 yippppeeee....thanks a ton rajeev 4 cuming back 😃 I cant wait 2 actually c the show! I agree w/ esha, we all do luv him in luv stories, lekin he also rocked as varun n acp prithviraj! isliya im sure he's going to make dis one a hit also 😃 i have full faith in him...if he has agreed, toh im sure kucch sochker hi he has taken up this project...im with him...im just so excited we'll be seeing him back on tv!!! wooohoo...yipppeee...thanks a lot shruti 4 sharing!!!!!

This new show is a weekly show. He will still have time to do a daily romantic serial once Aamna is free to act with him. 😉

romance romance romance n romance tht is wht rajeev shud dooo.....but only wid r very ownnnn aamna..... 😆

gr8 news...bt i want to c him in a romantic role...he shd sign sumthing new along wid this also
