The versatile actor who has the distinction of working under noted directors like Aparna Sen, Srijit Mukherji, kaushik Ganguly and Kamaleshwar Mukherjee, has always been interested in film direction. Such is the fascination that he even has a script prepared to be adapted on screen. “I would love to make a film someday. It’s my dream. If I ever make a movie it will surely be a children’s film. These films are quite rare these days,” says Rahul.

Meanwhile, the actor is all praise for ‘Pupa’ director Indrasis Acharya: “I had no connection with Indrasis Da personally. We met at the screening of his last movie ‘Bilu Rakkhosh’ in Bijaygarh. You won’t believe, it literally shook me to the core. Frankly speaking, I haven’t received many offers of such challenging roles so far. For me, the character I am playing is really a special one.”
