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.

  • Part of wider plan to fight violence against women and online harm.
  • Tech firms will be forced to block such content or face heavy Ofcom fines.
  • Experts say the ban responds to medical evidence and years of campaigning.

You see it everywhere now. In mainstream pornography, a man’s hands around a woman’s neck. It has become so common that for many, especially the young, it just seems like part of sex, a normal step. The UK government has decided it should not be, and soon, it will be a crime.

The plan is to make possessing or distributing pornographic material that shows sexual strangulation, often called ‘choking’, illegal. This is a specific amendment to the Crime and Policing Bill. Ministers are acting on the back of a stark, independent review. That report found this kind of violence is not just available online, but it is rampant. It has quietly, steadily, become normalised.
