Rajeev Khandelwal on why film on offβbeat subjects excite him
Actor Rajeev Khandelwal is back after his last release Shaitan
which received great reviews though it wasn't very well received at the
BO.
However Rajeev isn't disheartened as for him it's theaudience
reactions that count than figures. Besides Rajeev is now looking forward
to reveal a new facet of his persona to the audience in his upcoming
film Soundtrack.
His has been one of the most succesful transitions from TV to films in recent times.He made a debut with Aamir, a small budget film and also continued to be a part of a few off-beat, small budget movies.
So
is this an conscious effort?
"Firstly, I feel that it is the content
and not the budget that decides the quality of a film. π Besides there is
scope for all kind of cinema, be it commercial or off-beat or any other.
The audience today isn't bothered about the banner. A good story will
always be a winner, no matter what," says Rajeev.ππ³
Talking about
his film, Rajeev says, "Right from my debut, I decided to do films that
allow me to showcase my talent to the fullestπ . I am an actor who wants
to do exciting things and want to be part of good films. Be it Aamir or Shaitan where I play a troubled yet honest cop.π³π³ With Soundtrack too
which a musical film, the journey of an aspirant DJπ³ to an famous,
arrogant DJππ³, it is a transition of the chartacter that excited me. The
highs and lows of his life and the cost he pays for it, etc. Also I felt
is a modern day revelation which I could portray well."ππ
Rajeev
does not regret having debuted in a mainstream commercial film?
"I
became an actor not just for money but because I wanted to be part of
good cinema. π³π³ Call it new age cinema or whatever but I won't do films
which audience forgets as soon as they out of theatres!
