Good and bad films are a part of an actor's life: Rajeev Khandelwal

Pooja Kulkarni, TNN Aug 4, 2012, 12.00AM IST

He quit televsion when he was at the helm of his career. He believes in being instinctive and plunges in projects which excite him. In spite of having not so flattering films to add to his resume, actor Rajeev Khandelwal believes in "creating his space and being happy in it".

The actor says: "Formula films are no longer the flavour of the season and I don't feel any satisfaction or achievement doing them. Plus, it has to be something that excites me." However, he agrees that some of his choice of films have been wrong. Post his critically acclaimed film Aamir, Rajeev took projects like Shaitan, Will You Marry Me? and Soundtrack."I am human and can go wrong. Will You Marry Me? looked patchy and jaded as it was shot over a year and a half and released after two and a half years. By the time the concept of the film had become old and there were similar films made. In fact, after the shoot got prolonged for a year, I wanted to quit, but nobody would let me move out at that point," shares the actor.

But this certainly does not deter Rajeev from trying out experimental cinema in the future. "As an actor, I feel the need to keep experimenting. Good and bad films are a part of an actor's life and every time I may not have a reason to justify a bad film that I do," he says.

The actor has just returned from a month long shoot in Fiji for his next project with Tena Desae and Paresh Rawal. "Working with someone like Pareshji, compels you to improve your capabilities," he admits.

Being quite of an introvert, Rajeev admits that his socialising is restricted to his family and close circle of friends. "I cannot look at socialising as a way to promote my career." Busy with his current project, Rajeev who is extremely choosy about what he does reveals that he will not be hosting the next season of Sach Ka Samna. "I will not be part of the project any more. I'm done with the concept. But if some ground breaking offer comes up in television, I will surely take it up," he signs off.

I dont find him much of a looker but he is a decent actor. He just couldnt capitalize on his films like Aamir and Shaitan.

There was one time when nobody used to ask Anurag Kasyap but slowly he gained the trust of a niche audience,now ppl look upto him atleast believe in him even if its not that large .

same goes for rajeev too and i believe in his choice of cinema,he always trys to do something creatively different unlike other stars.

Those whom we call stars do know well how to SELL themselves. I had read inteviews of Naseeruddin & KK menon who mentioned that todays stars are star because of their good PR Skills.

I am happy that ppl atleast call rajeev an actor who can act.
