Mumbai, October 16 Rajeev Khandelwal has already conquered many hearts as television’s most adorable hero. Now, he takes his first step to don the big screen. The small screen star, who a few months back opted out of SAB TV’s popular Left Right Left, will act in debutant Raj Kumar Gupta’s film Amir.

“I’ve been getting scripts for the last couple of years. This is the most exciting project that I came across,” says Khandelwal, who celebrated his birthday on Tuesday. “It’s a realistic story and I’m playing a very believable character.”

Amir—to be produced by Spotboy, an arm of UTV Motion Pictures—tells the story of a Muslim professional who lands in Mumbai from London, only to be entangled in a series of hassles. “I’m playing a middleclass guy who faces the most unexpected situation. The movie is a fast-paced thriller,” adds Khandelwal, who had signed Amir even before UTV was roped in as a producer.

The shooting of the film will begin in the next few days. “For the time being, I won’t consider any TV offers because I do only one project at a time,” says Khandelwal. Amir has no heroine and song-and-dance sequences. “I never thought I would act in such a project as my debut. But I went for it because of the script,” Khandelwal adds.
