Rehan
Khan,
who
owes
the
upswing
in
his
career
to
the
Bhatts,
is
looking
at
good
times
ahead.
After
an
unsung
debut
in
Jaana
-
Let's
Fall
In
Love
followed
by
a
miniscule
but
important
role
in
Emran
Hashmi
starrer
Awarapan,
he
is
playing
a
parallel
lead
in
Sangeeth
Sivan's
next
film
Click.
"It
would
be
an
understatement
to
say
that
I
am
feeling
over
the
top",
says
an
ever
chirpy
Rehan,
"For
a
24
year
old
boy
whose
career
has
just
kick
started,
it
feels
great
to
be
recognized
by
some
of
the
best
film
makers
in
business."
What
is
Click
all
about?
"It
is
a
young
horror
film
where
Shreyas
and
I
play
the
main
leads.
The
film
has
an
urban
youth
flavor
throughout
and
promises
to
be
like
Sangeeth's
last
Apna
Sapna
Money
Money
though
with
a
horror
flavor",
reveals
Rehan
who
confesses
that
his
young
age
and
chocolate
boy
looks
restrict
the
kind
of
roles
he
can
enact.
"I
cannot
be
playing
a
police
officer
for
some
more
years
at
least",
laughs
Rehan,
"Nevertheless,
it
works
in
my
favor
since
for
a
few
more
years
to
come
I
am
happy
to
be
slotted
as
a
romantic
hero."
Sangeeth
Sivan
had
a
big
role
to
play
in
establishing
Ritiesh
Deshmukh's
popularity.
The
actor
was
at
his
comic
best
in
both
Kya
Kool
Hai
Hum
and
Apna
Sapna
Money
Money.
What
expectations
does
Rehan
have
from
the
film
maker
here?
"Obviously
to
get
similar
results
and
turn
lucky
like
Ritiesh",
says
Rehan
with
dreamy
eyes,
"Ritiesh
hasn't
looked
back
since
Kya
Kool
Hain
Hum
and
I
am
sure
that
after
I
am
through
with
the
three
films
that
I
have
signed
with
Sangeeth,
I
should
be
in
the
reckoning
as
well."
Adds
Rehan,
"One
thing
I
like
about
Sangeeth
is
his
ultra
friendly
nature.
He
is
such
a
cool
man
in
real
life.
I
like
his
sense
of
humor
and
the
way
he
gets
you
involved
in
a
friendly
conversation.
I
have
always
liked
South
Indian
people
and
Sangeeth
now
sits
very
highly
in
the
list
of
people
with
whom
I
share
a
jovial
relationship.
I
am
looking
at
having
a
whale
of
time
while
working
with
him
over
the
next
few
months."
Isn't
he
disappointed
by
the
fact
that
Awarapan
didn't
quite
use
his
full
potential?
"On
the
contrary
I
am
tremendously
elated
by
the
fact
that
Bhatts
gave
me
a
new
lease
of
life
with
Awarapan",
he
shoots
back,
"I
could
have
been
completely
out
of
circulation
had
Mahesh
Bhatt
not
shown
trust
in
him.
He
kept
his
hand
on
my
shoulders
and
said
-
'Rehan,
you
have
to
die
to
be
reborn'.
It
was
such
a
meaningful
statement
to
be
made."
Talking
about
his
association
with
the
Bhatts,
he
added,
"Today,
I
can
proudly
say
that
I
am
a
part
of
Bhatts
family.
They
treat
me
as
their
own
child
and
have
a
career
plan
chalked
out
for
me.
I
share
such
a
relationship
with
them
that
there
is
no
question
of
remuneration
or
length
of
role
in
their
films.
I
am
always
available
for
them"
Other
than
Click,
Sangeeth
Sivan
has
roped
in
Rehan
for
two
more
films
which
are
expected
to
be
completed
next
year.
In
addition,
film
maker
Nikhil
Panchammiya,
the
man
behind
Dil
Maange
More
and
Anthony
Kaun
Hai,
has
also
signed
Rehan
for
his
upcoming
production
to
be
directed
by
Kabir.
Shifting
the
topic,
one
moves
on
to
talk
about
his
home
production
that
his
father
was
planning
with
Amitabh
Bachchan
in
a
central
role.
Whatever
happened
to
that?
"Dad
is
still
in
the
process
of
writing
that
script.
It
is
happening
for
sure
though
the
veteran
actor
we
are
looking
as
a
central
protagonist
is
still
not
finalized",
reveals
Rehan,
"Though
let
me
be
honest
that
we
haven't
approached
Mr.
Bachchan
yet.
Dad
had
written
his
Kasme
Vaade
and
our
ties
go
decades
back.
We
are
sure
that
he
will
give
our
script
a
good
hearing
before
taking
a
decision."
