rajeev can't ignore ekta!

Every one is aware of Rajeev Khandelwal and soap queen Ekta Kapoor's love-hate relationship. Once known as the blue-eyed boy of Balaji telefilms, Rajeev soon makes his Bollywood debut with UTV's Aamir.

Many people know that it was his Bollywood aspirations that made Rajeev quit Kahin toh Hoga, a popular TV soap from the Balaji stable. And that's what was resposbile for his so-called tiff with Ekta Kapoor.

But Rajeev Khandelwal feels he can't ignore Ekta's contribution in his career and so has invited her to a special screening of his debut film Aamir.

Says Rajeev, "This is my first film and hence very important to me. I want Ekta to be there for the premiere. I was remembering all those people because of whom I'm in Mumbai and Ekta is one of them. I just can't ignore her contribution in my career."

But does he really think Ekta will turn up for the screening?
"She's quite unpredictable! Though I'm aware she's busy with her own film which is releasing the same day," replies Rajeev.

When contacted, all Ekta had to say was to wish Rajeev "All the best".
Now let's wait and watch if the Soap Queen makes Rajeev's day or not!

rajeev n aamna debut in different movies

Television’s heartthrob Rajeev Khandelwal is all set to debut on the big screen. He will play the lead in a film titled Aamir. No Smoking director Anurag Kashyap is the creative producer of the project. What’s different about this film is it’s going to be a first for all involved with the project, from the cast to the spot boy.Anurag is confident the debutante will do a good job. Anurag feels that Rajeev is the only telly star with a potential of becoming a huge name in Bollywood as his popularity is no less than any Khan. ‘Aamir’ is a thriller which deals with terrorism. Now before you start thinking on, who will be the female lead opposite Rajeev? Well, here’s the deal, as the movie is a thriller and action packed there will be no lead actress; quite sad as we won’t get to see Rajeev romancing.

After having seen him in the role of an arrogant romantic ‘Sujal’ in ‘Kahin To Hoga’ and stern yet soft hearted Captain Rajveer Singh Shekhawat in ‘Left Right Left’, it will be interesting to see him play a terrorist in ‘Aamir’.

Rajeev’s girlfriend Aamna Sharif is also going to make her big screen debut, though she will star opposite Aftab Shivdasani. While Anurag is confident of Rajeev’s success, we wonder if the actor can claim to be as confident of his director, considering the latter’s last film flopped miserably.
