Mumbai, Aug 24 (IANS): Rajeev Khandelwal came to Mumbai without any knowledge about the industry, but learnt the ropes and today has found a place for himself in showbiz. The actor has no qualms about working with new people as long as they are talented.

"Someone also gave me a break when I was new, so I'm happy to work with debut directors. It's just that I see whether the person has the potential or not, then I take the plunge. He needs to be passionate about his work and you easily make out, if the director is skillful or not," the actor told IANS.

He has proved his point by teaming up with new talent.

After starting his acting career with television serial "Kahiin Toh Hoga", Rajeev entered Bollywood with Raj Kumar Gupta's directorial debut "Aamir". He then went on to be part of another new director Bejoy Nambiar's film "Shaitaan", and he will be seen in yet another debutant director Neerav Ghosh's "Soundtrack".
