Rajeev Khandelwal to headline web film Court Martial

Popular television actor Rajeev Khandelwal, who is mostly remembered for his romantic show Kahiin To Hoga (2003-2005) and Raj Kumar Gupta’s psychological crime thriller Aamir (2008), has bagged a new digital project. Previously seen in such digital shows as Huq Se and Coldd Lassi Aur Chicken Masala, Khandelwal has been signed on to topline an upcoming web-film.

Titled Court Martial, the movie will premiere on one of the leading OTT platforms ZEE5. The OTT platform is known for delivering an interesting mix of content to the audience. Enjoying huge viewership and reach, ZEE5 has attracted several popular names from films and television to work with the platform.


Rajeev Khandelwal is the next popular name to have come onboard. The actor will play the male lead in its web movie. Court Martial will mark his first association with ZEE5. Though nothing much is known about the project at the moment, we hear from sources that the actor has already commenced shooting for the same. More information on the project, including other cast members, is expected to arrive soon.

Rajeev was last seen in the ALTBalaji original, Coldd Lassi Aur Chicken Masala, which received warm response from the audience. The series also starred leading television actress Divyanka Tripathi in the lead role. The audience loved the chemistry between the two actors in the Pradeep Sakar directorial.

Before Coldd Lassi Aur Chicken Masala hit the web a couple of weeks ago, Rajeev Khandelwal was seen in Bollywood film Pranaam (2019). The movie, which released without any promotions, tanked at the box-office without any trace, incurring heavy losses to the makers.

Two Sinners marks Samir Zaidi’s striking directorial debut

Samir Zaidi, director of 'Two Sinners', emerges as a powerful new voice in Indian film

Indian cinema has a long tradition of discovering new storytellers in unexpected places, and one recent voice that has attracted quiet, steady attention is Samir Zaidi. His debut short film Two Sinners has been travelling across international festivals, earning strong praise for its emotional depth and moral complexity. But what makes Zaidi’s trajectory especially compelling is how organically it has unfolded — grounded not in film school training, but in lived observation, patient apprenticeships and a deep belief in the poetry of everyday life.

Zaidi’s relationship with creativity began well before he ever stepped onto a set. “As a child, I was fascinated by small, fleeting things — the way people spoke, the silences between arguments, the patterns of light on the walls,” he reflects. He didn’t yet have the vocabulary for what he was absorbing, but the instinct was already in place. At 13, he turned to poetry, sensing that the act of shaping emotions into words offered a kind of clarity he couldn’t find elsewhere. “I realised creativity wasn’t something external I had to chase; it was a way of processing the world,” he says. “Whether it was writing or filmmaking, it came from the same impulse: to make sense of what I didn’t fully understand.”
