Rahul Bhatt
Mahesh Bhatt's son

Rahul (top, in his younger days. Bottom, a more recent picture) has a tough task -- for two reasons.

Reason One: Living up to his father's track record of making hit films like Dil Hai Ke Manta Nahin, Sadak, Murder and Zeher.

Reason Two: The subject of his debut film, Suicide Bomber, which deals with terrorism and in which he plays the protagonist. Yes, Rahul makes his debut as a terrorist in the film that is loosely based on the 7/7 London bombings.

And you can imagine how challenging his task is, to gain a foothold in Bollywood with such an unconventional first step.
