Rajeev
Khandelwal,
the
chocolate
boy
from
television
is
all
set
to
make
a
'solid'
impression
with
his
debut
film
Aamir.
Directed
by
Rajkumar
Gupta,
the
film
is
about
a
man
who
is
ousted
into
circumstances
without
any
notification
and
how
he
comes
out
of
it
a
winner.
Breaking
his
stereotypical
image,
Khandelwal
has
not
only
taken
efforts
for
his
character
but
also
his
language.
On
the
other
hand,
Rajkumar
Gupta
went
one-step
further
and
added
more
realism
to
the
film.
Apparently,
Rajkumar
was
keen
on
shooting
at
some
isolated
and
deserted
place
so
that
the
location
could
go
well
with
the
theme
and
story
of
Aamir.
After
a
tedious
search,
rejecting
and
approving
places
Rajkumar
found
it.
He
came
across
a
chemical
factory
in
Dharavi,
which
he
thought
had
the
perfect
ambience
and
was
ideal
for
a
three-day
schedule
shoot
they
had
planned
on
their
roster.
But
not
everything
goes
as
per
plan,
Rajkumar's
thirst
for
deserted
places
proved
not
only
expensive
but
also
unhealthy
for
everyone
in
the
crew.
"We
all
thought
that
the
chemical
factory
had
the
perfect
ambience
required
for
the
scene.
We
were
going
to
shoot
next
day
but
unfortunately,
everyone
including
Rajeev
and
me
got
allergic
to
the
impure
air
we
breathed
while
shooting
there.
As
a
result
of
which,
we
all
had
to
stop
shooting
for
the
next
few
days,
but
luckily,
I
had
such
brilliant
actors
and
crew
that
we
soon
recovered
the
loss
of
those
few
days
and
were
back
on
our
planned
schedule",
declares
Rajkumar.
