Yes , Rekha's nephew is being launched by film critic-turned-director Khalid Mohamed ( who's made movies like 'Fiza', 'Tehzeeb', 'Silsilay') in a film produced by Vikram Bhatt.
26 year old Naveed is a San Francisco-based investment banker.
Naturally Rekha is in charge of grooming him for B-Town.
A source has said, "As Naveed was born and bred in the US, he has a heavy Yankee accent. Rekha has packed him off to a diction class to help him lose the accent. She also wants Naveed to go through the rigors of acting".
To make him get a feel of Bollywood, she's not accommodated him in her Bandra bungalow. He lives in a one-room studio flat at Pali Market.
The source adds, "When Vikram saw Naveed's pictures, he thought he would fit the bill for Khalid's venture which begins soon. Vikram spoke to Rekha and fixed up a meeting."
Vikram has said, "We are talking to Naveed. At the moment, I can't reveal more about the film. There will be both known and new faces."
We understand the mysterious natures of Bollywood filmmakers. As of now, there's a lot to expect from Re's nephew. Let's wait and watch. --- SAMPURN
Naveed has given up a flourishing career in investment banking to be in Bollywood. The aspiring actor is trained in various Latin dance forms and plays the tabla and the dhol as well. Presently, he is doing weight training along with his diction classes. He intends to enrol into acting classes very soon. A source close to Naveed says, "He has been interested in music since his childhood days and would coax his parents to buy him instruments during his holidays in India."
Rekha has also laid out a long list of dos and don'ts for Naveed. The first commandment reads 'Early to bed and early to rise makes you healthy, wealthy and wise'. She has also asked him to cut down on his partying habits. Our source informs, "No late nights for Naveed. He hardly parties these days as he has to get up early in the morning." - Filmicafe'
