“I play a professor in Shaapit who helps Aditya in his journey” – Rahul Dev

Shaapit, which means cursed, is but obviously a supernatural thriller. Rahul tells us, "Yes Shaapit is a supernatural thriller. In the film I play the role of Pashupati, he is a professor. The thing is that the girl in the film is cursed while her boyfriend has to find a way to somehow annul this curse. That's where I come in as a kind of guide who helps the boy along in his journey."

While talking about the lead actor Aditya Narayan who is making his debut with the film, Rahul says, "You know, now that I've worked with Aditya, I think that he is by far the best newcomer I have ever worked with, which in itself is saying a lot as I have previously worked with 4 other newcomers, and he is better than all of them."

Talking about his forthcoming films, Rahul informs, "Post Shaapit, I have a film Ek Accident. In fact, we have just finished shooting for the film. In essence Ek Accident is also a kind of thriller, but different from Shaapit as it involves more of a psychological thrilling aspect."

One thing is for certain there is certainly lots to look forward to for fans of Rahul Dev who has quite a few interesting films lined up.
