First Of Many, The Indian Express, November 2019


In a career spanning over two decades, Rahul Khanna has done around a dozen film projects, many of which have left an indelible impression in the minds of the audience. The actor who was seen in Netflix series Leila earlier this year, is fondly remembered for movies including Bollywood/Hollywood, Raqeeb, Love Aaj Kal and Wake Up Sid.

The model-turned-actor has remained a favourite television anchor starting 1990s, and has also hosted various award shows and B-town's big events. From endorsements to writing, there's nothing that Rahul hasn't done. But one of his most striking work is Deepa Mehta's directorial 1947: Earth, the second movie in Mehta's elemental trilogy (Fire, Earth and Water). It was a story about a group of friends, set in 1947, against the backdrop of the partition of India and Pakistan, and seen through the eyes of a young Parsi girl. 1947: Earth was also India's official entry for the Academy Awards in 1999.

Fireflies


Here's the first look at Fireflies, the film I recently finished shooting with Arjun Mathur, Monica Dogra, Shivani Ghai & Aadya Bedi, directed by Sabal Shekhawat.



Fireflies is the story of estranged brothers – Shiv & Rana.
Though the brothers' live disparate lives, sometimes illuminated by unexpected intimacies & new found hope, they remain shackled to the darkness of their past.
Haunting memories and a tragic accident must be resolved before they can be brothers again.

Fireflies will have its world premiere at the New York Indian Film Festival (NYIFF 2013) on May 2nd, 2013.
