Rajeev Khandelwal on his character in Haq Se: I think there will be elements of Sujal in this one too
Rajeev Khandelwal gets candid about his new online show Haq Se.
Rajeev Khandelwal will collaborate with Ekta Kapoor after a long time for the online series Haq Se. The duo worked together for shows such as Kya Hadsaa Kya Haqeeqat and Kahiin To Hoga.
The actor is playing the role of Doctor Naushad Rizvi in the show. When a leading daily had asked the actor if his character in this show will remind them of Sujal, he said, "Why Sujal worked was because there is a little bit of Sujal in everyone. You are possessive, sometimes you border on being possessive and obsessive. You want to sacrifice everything for your love. That is what Sujal was all about. So, I think there will be elements of Sujal in this one too, but probably some different elements as well. It will not be diametrically opposite Sujal because there will be shades of Sujal and so many other romantic characters you’ve seen, plus there is some originality to this character as well which you will probably see and decide."
About his character in Haq Se, he said, "I think very simple romantic characters suit me. So this is a little complicated character. There are layers to him. He is idiosyncratic at times. Maybe there’s a conflict in his heart and mind."
About the show and changing from television to online series, "With times, mediums keep changing, newer avenues open. I’m still doing the same thing I did in 2003 with Kahiin To Hoga – I’m still acting. Haq Se is a very poetic series. I knew that Ekta is helming it so I knew it is in able hands. But when I read the script, I was blown away. I said I have to be a part of it in whichever measure. It is a beautiful piece of writing. When I’m saying this with so much confidence, I can assure that you’ll love it too."
He will be seen with Surveen Chawla in the show. Rajeev also spoke about working with Surveen. He said, "Surveen has grown many manifolds. I’ve worked with her when she was making her debut and now she is way more experienced. She has lovely energy, she is committed, very professional."
The plot revolves around four sisters Meher, Jannat, Bano and Amal. The story is set in the backdrop of the beautiful valleys of Kashmir. The show is adapted from Louisa May Alcott’s classic drama Little Women, the online show will be directed by popular Ken Ghosh. It will focus on their ambitions, dreams, their geographical situation and the rising fundamentalism in the region.
