Rajeev Khandelwal on his ‘Amar Vishwas’ character: Went with the flow

Mumbai, Feb 18 (IANS) Actor Rajeev Khandelwal, who is currently seen playing a razor-sharp lawyer in the courtroom drama “Amar Vishwas”, has spoken about crafting the character and shared that he just went with the flow.

Amar Vishwas is a gripping courtroom drama set at the crossroads of power, crime, and justice. Headlined by Rajeev, the series follows a razor-sharp legal mind navigating a high-stakes case where truth comes layered, motives remain concealed, and every argument inside the courtroom ripples far beyond it.

Opening up about crafting the character, Rajeev shared, “I went with the flow. We had discussed the character in length in our pre-shoot readings. Amar Vishwas was born in those meetings and now lives in the series.”

He added: “I sat down with eminent lawyers to understand some basic dos and don’ts of the courtroom and the legal world. The restraint that you see in him is actually his effort to not let his pent-up emotions come to the surface.”

Speaking about Amar’s core, he said: Amar is a rebel of sorts. And that is why he takes mostly pro bono cases. He had seen enough in his growing-up years that now he wants to change the system while being inside it.”

“And when anyone does that, he or she is bound to face challenges and hurdles. So does Amar Vishwas. How he deals with those hurdles is what makes him Amar Vishwas.”
