New Delhi, July 8 (IANS) His mother and sister are established fashion designers, but Rahil Tandon, son of Reynu Taandon, is out to prove himself as an actor. He has made his debut with a tele-feature film produced by superstar Shah Rukh Khan, no less.'I do have Bollywood dreams. Who doesn't? But I have no hang-ups about the medium. For me, acting is not just about making a name, it is my passion,' Rahil, 23, told IANS.The young actor, who took training from the Kishore Namit Kapoor Acting Institute in Mumbai, has been the lead of a theatre production, 'Bollywood Love Story', directed by Sanjoy K. Roy for the past two years.The chance to feature in the tele-film, 'Like I Love You', emerged after he applied for it online. The film was part of a new concept by MTV.The channel has collaborated with two production houses - Milestone Movies Pvt Ltd and Shah Rukh's Red Chillies Idiot Box - to produce three romantic movies as part of their new series 'Luv Reels'.Rahil features in the first of the three movies. Shot in London, the one-hour long 'Like I Love You' - and for the actor - it is 'a step forward to a career in Bollywood films'.However, he maintains he will never quit theatre for movies.'I'm very passionate about acting. I'm particular about reaching the set on time or sometimes even before, because I like to understand the set-up and workings of a shoot.'I take every project as a new learning experience. So at the end of the day, I look forward to a good project through which I can show my talent. Big or small screen has never been a criterion,' he said.'Besides, I want to carry on my work in theatre alongside whatever I do. Theatre is what has enhanced my skill in acting. I will not quit my show 'Bollywood Love Story' - it has been my launch and I have always had a great time working on it,' he said.Was being a fashion designer like his mother, or sister Nikhita, never an option?'Designing was not even the last resort for me ever. I never had it in me. But I keep giving suggestions to my mother once in a while. Since I was six, I have wanted to be an actor and I am glad I have realised my wish,' Rahil said.Now he wants to give himself a year or two to carve an identity for himself, rather than being referred to as 'Reynu Taandon's son'.'I have no problems being called my mother's son. But I would want that in a year or two, my name comes first. Her name will always be with me. But it's important that I create my own identity too,' said Rahil.
