The last time we caught up with Rajeev Khandelwal was when he was recovering from a ligament tear while promoting his antagonist act in Bloody Daddy (2023). Three years later, the actor has played a superstar in Showtime (2024), and an Indiana Jones–inspired role in The Secret of the Shiledars (2025). However, it is his titular role in Amazon MX Player’s Amar Vishwas that he says is the closest to his real self. “There’s a lot of me in Amar Vishwas,” starts off Khandelwal. “He is instinctive and has a huge conscience. I keep thinking about right and wrong in my own actions when I’m dealing with my team, my people.”

The actor believes that the flaws in his character make Amar Vishwas more real, which is what initially drew him to the role. As a lawyer, one expects the character to be detached, but “Amar gets too personal. He crosses boundaries because it connects with his belief system. That flaw is also there in me. So, I didn’t have to make it relatable,” shares the actor.
