US-based actor makes a mark in Bollywood
UK born and Hollywood, California based actor-director-choreographer Rahul Nath has made a mark in Bollywood with his portrayal of Gary in the Saif Ali Khan-Govinda-Ileana D’Cruz-Kalki Koechlin starrer ‘Happy Ending.’ And, now he has signed Todd Kessler’s film ‘Scandalous,’ which also features Kabir Bedi.
Rahul has been receiving a lot of appreciation by film critics for his performance of Gary in the film. “Rahul does great justice to the role of Gary,” said Komal Natha in a review. And, Anish Mohanty wrote “Rahul Nath with his accent and mannerisms is very funny.”
“It has been an incredible journey and I don’t think I could have asked for a better Bollywood debut,” said Rahul Nath in a media statement. “The whole team of ‘Happy Ending was a delight to work with. The directors Raj and DK really made me feel so comfortable on set that I never felt any pressure. Obviously when you are working with such an established star cast you feel some nerves but again all the cast put me at ease.
“Working with Saif was like I was working with one of my friends, he likes to joke around and create a happy and relaxed environment, and with Govinda he is just the ultimate comedian, on and off screen. I laughed so much with him during our schedule in Bangkok. With Ileana as well we had many scenes together and I was a fan of hers since her Poikri days.”
Rahul is currently in talks with several feature and ad film directors in Mumbai regarding future projects, and is also busy in film festival circuits with his own directorial feature ‘Khazana’ which deals with the sensitive subject of a newly married woman who takes revenge on those who have abused her.
Rahul has been the face of several leading brands internationally including State Farm Insurance, Nintendo, Virgin America, Jack in the Box, TravelZoo and Intel.
