Rehaan
Khan,
son
of
filmmaker
Sharukh
Mirza
is
a
new
entrant
in
Bollywood.
Being
launched
by
his
father,
Rehaan
wants
to
carry
on
the
legacy
of
the
Mirza
clan.
He
has
already
signed
two
films
even
before
the
release
of
his
debut
film.
Tell
us
about
your
debut
film
Jaana
-
Let's
Fall
in
Love
and
your
character
in
it
|
Jaana
also
brings
back
Rajesh
Khanna
and
Zeenat
Aman
on
the
big
screen.
How
was
it
working
with
such
senior
actors?
Very
few
people
know
that
my
parents
got
married
at
Rajesh
Khanna's
house.
My
father
did
not
have
money
for
his
marriage.
He
was
a
writer
then
and
he
wrote
Dhanwan
for
Rajesh
Khanna.
And
today
I
am
working
with
him.
In
fact
it
was
like
a
surprise
for
him.
He
looked
at
my
mother
and
said
I
saw
this
kid
when
he
was
very
small
and
look
at
him
now.
Today
he
is
23
years
old
and
acting
with
me.
However,
I
never
met
Rajeshji
and
Zeenatji
before
in
my
life
but
all
I
can
say
about
her
is
that
she
(Zeenat)
is
the
most
gorgeous
mother
that
any
young
man
can
have.
She
defines
the
beauty
that
nobody
can.
I
am
glad
and
so
happy
that
I
have
had
her
as
a
mother
in
my
very
first
film.
Anjana
is
a
very
homely
girl.
I
always
told
her
that
she
is
marriage
material.
She
is
very
sweet
and
always
very
co-operative
and
humble.
She
does
a
lot
of
rehearsal
and
totally
concentrates
on
her
work.
Have
you
had
any
professional
training
in
acting?
I
went
to
Kishore
Namit
Kapoor's
acting
academy
and
he
had
trained
me
for
three
months.
I
did
dancing
classes,
Salsa,
rock-n-roll,
action
classes,
skate
boarding
and
horse
riding.
I
did
everything.
You
have
to
be
trained
in
every
aspect
of
acting
to
be
a
star
today.
If
you
want
to
be
in
Bollywood
then
you
have
to
prepare
for
everything.
People
say
you
are
a
producer's
son
so
everything
is
possible
for
you.
But
I
want
to
tell
them
one
thing
that
it
was
not
my
fault
to
be
born
as
a
producer's
son.
What
are
the
advantages
of
being
a
producer's
son?
My
father
has
been
in
this
industry
for
about
30
to
40
years
now.
He
was
a
writer,
producer
and
then
a
director.
I
always
wanted
to
be
an
actor
but
I
was
not
confident
till
I
trained
myself
to
become
one
and
then
went
to
my
father.
Many
people
say
that
it's
easy
for
a
producer's
son
to
become
an
actor
but
if
you
see
it
from
a
different
perspective
then
you
will
realize
that
he
has
given
breaks
to
a
lot
of
new-comers
including
Ayub
Khan,
Asif
Sheikh,
Jatin-Lalit
and
choreographer
Raju
Khan.
He
has
always
introduced
newcomers
so
if
he
gives
me
a
break
then
what's
wrong
in
that?
And
the
only
disadvantage
is
that
people
think
that
it's
easy
for
you
to
get
an
entry
but
I
want
to
say
that
it's
not
easy
for
anyone.
There
are
many
star
sons
who
flop
out.
This
is
our
profession.
We
are
born
here,
this
is
our
work
and
we
will
carry
on
the
legacy.
Definitely
the
expectations
are
high
and
if
we
are
less
than
one
percent
of
these
expectations
then
we
are
not
accepted.
Mirza
brothers
are
known
as
musical
maestros.
Will
this
movie
continue
to
maintain
the
record?
Jaana
has
five
music
directors.
They
include
Anand-Milind
and
the
rest
are
new
directors.
There's
Guru,
Rajendra
and
Shiv.
We
have
variety
of
music
and
I
can
proudly
say
that
Jaana
will
give
all
kinds
of
music.
Ola
Ola
is
a
dance
number,
Kalma
Kalma
is
a
qawwali,
the
title
track
is
a
romantic
song.
HMV
is
so
happy
with
the
music
that
they
are
coming
with
its
remix
too.
How
was
the
whole
experience
like?
Oh
lovely,
we
have
started
shooting
in
November
and
completed
in
January
and
now
we
are
releasing
it
on
25th
of
August.
This
is
the
debut
film
of
your
brother
Farhaan
too.
How
is
he
as
a
director?
Farhaan
was
supposed
to
be
launched
as
an
actor
by
a
very
big
name
but
he
doesn't
want
me
to
let
out
the
name.
Though
my
father
wanted
to
launch
him,
he
never
wanted
to
be
an
actor.
Now
he
is
debuting
as
a
director
with
Jaana.
And
no
one
thought
that
I
would
be
an
actor
as
I
had
never
taken
it
to
heart.
What
kind
of
role
you
are
looking
forward
to?
I
want
to
play
such
roles
that
have
a
vacancy
in
Bollywood.
I
want
to
play
a
guy,
who
has
just
got
into
college.
I
don't
want
to
play
a
police
inspector
because
it
doesn't
suit
my
age
as
I
am
only
23
year
old.
If
I
play
such
roles
I
will
not
be
doing
justice
to
that
role.
Later
may
be
in
the
future
I
might
do
such
roles.
What
are
the
other
projects
you
are
working
on?
Well
I
have
just
signed
two
projects
right
now.
One
is
for
a
very
big
company
while
the
other
one
I
have
just
signed
yesterday
that
I
can't
talk
about
now.
I
want
to
do
quality
work
-
quantity
doesn't
matter
to
me.
My
brother
is
also
coming
up
with
a
solo
film.
Were
you
offered
any
film
by
any
filmmaker
before
Jaana?
I
had
signed
a
film
before
Jaana
and
informed
my
father
about
it.
And
my
father
was
literally
annoyed
and
he
screamed
at
me.
He
called
up
that
producer
and
gave
him
back
the
signing
amount.
That
is
one
mistake
I
did.
I
was
offered
a
film
by
a
music
company
but
they
wanted
me
to
be
in
contract.
As
I
didn't
want
to
be
in
contract
so
I
didn't
sign
it.
Why
should
people
go
and
watch
Jaana?
People
should
watch
it
because
I
haven't
seen
any
film
like
this
at
least
in
this
year.
It's
a
film
for
every
young
boy
and
girl
in
love
and
it's
a
film
where
we
have
Mr.
Rajesh
Khanna
and
Zeenat
Aman
getting
back.
So
it's
a
film
for
every
elderly
person
in
love
too.
And
it
has
got
a
very
big
social
message.
When
you
will
see
the
film
you
will
come
to
know
about
it.
What
was
the
idea
behind
pairing
Rajesh
Khanna
and
Zeenat
Aman
in
your
film?
My
father
has
always
wanted
me
to
be
launched
with
Rajesh
Khanna.
We
have
remixed
his
four
or
five
old
songs.
He
will
be
seen
singing
and
dancing.
He
has
got
a
different
look.
He
is
not
the
same
Kaka;
he
is
a
very
modern
Kaka.
He
used
to
tell
me
that
we
share
same
initials
so
I
will
be
a
star
like
him.
What
have
you
learnt
from
him?
I
learnt
to
be
patient
and
to
be
a
very
nice
person
too.
Though
lot
of
people
says
that
he
is
arrogant,
I
say
that
he
is
a
child
by
heart.
