Rahul Khanna

The 37 year old, Rahul Khanna, son of yesteryears actor Vinod Khanna had left for USA to do some theatre work which he preferred. Reason? His acting career was going nowhere in Bollywood despite his good looks and off-beat type role choice.

Now the buzz is that he is coming back to Mumbai to work on his directorial debut venture which most probably will be produced by his father Vinod Khanna and brother Akshaye Khanna.

Having faced defeat in the recently concluded Loksabha elections, Vinod Khanna has plans to be based in Mumbai for a longer period now and revive his production company. Our sources further claim that both Rahul and Akshaye have already worked on a script together and it has been planned that Rahul will direct the film himself.

Khanna began his career as a VJ with MTV Asia and was immensely popular across Asia. He made his feature film debut in Deepa Mehta’s Earth-1947 with Aamir Khan and Nandita Das. He was later also seen as the solo male lead in Mehta’s Bollywood/ Hollywood (2003). Rahul’s
mainstream Bollywood films include Elaan and Raqeeb.

He has also been a rage on stage in the New York production of the hit West-End play, East is East. Rahul’s other international credits include The Emperor’s Club with Kevin Kline.
