Naxal cast undergoes major rejig, reveals Rajeev Khandelwal

The Salt Bridge actor Rajeev Khandelwal revealed that Naxal directed by Kunal Kohli has undergone a major shuffle, due to the pandemic coronavirus, in terms of its cast and crew.

Mumbai: Actor Rajeev Khandelwal is looking forward to the shoot of the remaining portions of the upcoming web show Naxal, once the lockdown is over.

"The cast and crew (of the show) have undergone a major rejig because of the whole COVID thing. But eventually, we have all very capable people on board. I am looking forward to working with Aamir (Ali), Satyadeep (Mishra), Tina (Dutta) and others as my co-actors," he said.

Rajeev also shared how he has been utilising the lockdown time to rehearse his character.

"I have never had the opportunity of working with any of them (his co-stars), so it makes it even more exciting. We have had table readings for the show, and I have used this time away from set, to work on my character," he said, further adding, "I hope it is a treat for my fans because they have never seen me in a role like this."

Speaking about his role in Naxal, Rajeev added: "My character, of an STF agent, should surprise the audience because it has many shades - from humour and action to a lot of emotion."

Directed by Kunal Kohli, Naxal will be streaming on Zee5.
