I'm crazy, nuts and an idiot
It's been two years since Aamir and actor Rajeev Khandelwal has been awaiting the release of his second film Peter Gaya Kaam Se. And while the film is expected to hit the theatres in June this year, Rajeev feels it's just a matter of time before the audience see him giving a stellar performance again. "I understand that it has been some time that any of my film released but then, somewhere in people's minds, Aamir is still fresh. I am not affected by any such speculations that my filmi career has taken a back seat," says Rajeev.
About his film Peter..., which has been ready for sometime and is yet to see the light of the day, Rajeev says, "I always wanted Peter ... to be my second film and UTV plans to release it in June." Ask him if he has been consciously signing zara hatke films, which include Joker and Tainaat, Rajeev says, "I believe in taking my own decisions. When I signed Aamir there were people who called me crazy for choosing such a film for my debut, when I decided to go back to television with Sach Ka Samna I was called an idiot. But this has not affected me at
all. I go ahead if I am convinced about the script."
As far as his film Joker is concerned, it's one of the most challenging roles, the actor feels he is playing. "I fell in love with the film during the first narration. Playing the role of a single parent was
never in my scheme of things but the script was too good to refuse. I play a young father, with long hair, to Shrey Bawa and it's my first attempt at portraying different layers of emotions in a film. The

entire
team is doing a wonderful job including Prachi Desai, director Vikram
Tuli and Sammeer Arora who has written a great screenplay," says
Rajeev.
The actor will also be seen playing an army officer in Ahsan Haider's Tainaat. " It's psychological drama and coming from an army background myself, I am sure I would receive a lot of guidance from
back home too."

Ask him the million dollar
question about tying the knot with girlfriend Manjiri Kamtikar and
Rajeev says, "We are engaged but will marry only after a year. Manjiri
is very supportive and it's great to have someone so understanding in
your life," signs off Rajeev.
