Karan Razdan's spooky thriller "Eight Shani" is the debut vehicle of Raj Tara, son-in-law of music director Jaikishan.

"I wanted to become an actor since school but pursued a business degree from London University and after being an exporter for eight years I am more than happy to quit everything for my acting passion," he said.

He thanks his fashion designer wife Bhairavi Jaikishan, daughter of musician Jaikishan Panchal - of music director duo Shankar-Jaikishan, for supporting his decision to enter films.

Before venturing into films, Raj worked in a few TV commercials like Citibank, FUS Inega and a couple of shirt brands.

"Eight Shani" is also the launch pad of actor Raj Kumar's daughter Vastavikta.

Raj says Razdan's film is the best debut vehicle for him.
