Getting
a
break
in
Bollywood
is
never
easy
for
television
actors.
Their
struggle
doesn"t
end
even
after
bagging
a
film.
If
the
film
flops,
you"re
doomed,
but
even
if
it
succeeds,
there"s
no
guarantee
that
it
will
smooth
sailing
thereafter.
On
the
contrary,
it
might
only
get
worse.
Rajeev
Khandelwal,
a.k.a
Sujal
of
Kahiin
Toh
Hoga,
achieved
success
with
his
maiden
film
Aamir.
That
opened
new
opportunities
for
him,
but
unfortunately,
most
of
his
upcoming
projects
are
now
either
being
shelved
or
are
shrouded
under
clouds
of
uncertainty.
Khandelwal
had
shot
for
Sanjay
Leela
Bhansali"s
Chenab
Gandhi,
John
Owen"s
Peter
Gaya
Kaam
Se" and
Vikram
Tuli"s
Mera
Naam
Joker.
Producer
Sanjay
Leela
Bhansali
and
director
Vibhu
Puri
differed
over
the
choice
of
Rajeev.
The
latter
wasn"t
keen
on
taking
Rajeev
in
the
film.
Both
Joker
and
Peter
Gaya
Kaam
Se
are
stuck
in
post-production
stage.
The
actor
had
also
signed
director
Tanuja
Chandra"s
film
that
was
to
be
produced
by
Maverick
production.
Sadly,
that
project
got
shelved.
He
was
also
going
to
be
part
of
the
film
Return
Gift,
but
that
project
might
just
get
shelved
after
the
passing
away
of
director
Saurbah
Narang.
“Few
of
his
films
have
been
scrapped
while
some
are
caught
in
post
production
hurdle
-
that's
as
good
as
being
shelved.
The
problem
that
TV
actors
face
is
not
a
lack
of
talent
but
the
not
too
many
producers
are
willing
to
put
money
on
them.
Rajeev
is
said
to
be
frustrated
at
the
way
things
are
turning
out.
TV
producers
are
ready
to
welcome
him
back
but
the
actor
isn"t
keen
now.
“In
the
end,
he
may
not
be
left
with
any
option
but
to
return
to
TV," an
industry
insider
said.
Khandelwal
remained
unavailable
for
comment.
If
his
films
don"t
materialize,
then
Mr.Khandelwal
will
have
to
face
the
truth.
Or
should
we
say,
'Sach
ka
Saamna"!
