Rajeev Khandelwal Reveals Producers Declined To Back 'Aamir' Because Of THIS Reason

Rajeev Khandelwal grew to be one of the most popular actors in Indian television when he starred in hit shows like 바카라�Kahiin To Hoga바카라�, 바카라�Left Right Left바카라�, and 바카라�CID바카라� to name a few. However, after dominating television, he decided to step into films. He made his Bollywood debut with 바카라�Aamir바카라� which went on to become critically acclaimed. In a latest interview, the actor revealed how difficult it was to find producers for the movie.

Speaking to News18, Rajeev Khandelwal opened up about how the makers of 바카라�Aamir바카라� went through a tough time looking for producers who were willing to put money into this film. He revealed that producers were hesitant because they were not willing to put their money into a project that starred a television actor.

Khandelwal revealed, 바카라�When I was doing 바카라�Aamir바카라�, Anurag Kashyap (who was one of the makers of the film) told me later that he went to so many producers to finance the film. He went from pillar to post and told everyone that I have Rajeev Khandelwal who is very popular on television. And all of them said and they said that they didn바카라�t want a popular face. Even if you take a newcomer, it바카라�s fine with us, but a TV actor, maybe no.바카라�

바카라�Aamir바카라� revolved around the life of a doctor who had returned to Mumbai from London for a family emergency. However, he ends up finding himself in dangerous situations. The movie was inspired by the post-9/11 era.

The actor continued, 바카라�Anurag had that conviction. He finally met Vikas Bahl from UTV. I was told later that Vikas asked Anurag, 바카라�Why do you want Rajeev? Is it because the budget is less?바카라� They thought that the budget was less, that바카라�s why they are casting a TV actor. But both of them believed in me and that is how 바카라�Aamir바카라� happened.바카라�

Khandelwal will be next seen in 바카라�Showtime바카라� which will take the audience into the darker side of cinema and celebrities.
