Now they've roped in a British director John Owen to direct a full-on love story with Rajiv in the lead.
Whether Rajiv's real-life friend Amna Sharif will feature in the film is yet determined.
Laughs Rajiv, "Believe it or not I'm seeing far less of her now than before. She busy devouring Aloo Chat I'm busy chasing Aamir, " jokes Rajiv about Amna's debut film and his own. "Coincidentally we both started our feature films together.But her film is very different from mine. I don't even have a heroine. "
Rajiv candidly admits that Amna has not been any part of his movie experience.
"She knows nothing about Aamir. I did hear the plot of her film. She bounced her plot to me. We've been too busy to take interest in each other's activities.
We're both busy establishing our respective movie careers. Right now I'm going through a phase where I get interested in every woman I meet. But I do want a special partner."
Rajiv has vowed to never go back to television. "Unless television evolves. Otherwise there's no chance of my returning to television.
Says Rajiv, "At the moment all I can think of is Aamir where I play this ordinary guy caught in an extraordinary situation. It tells us, circumstances make us heroes. It made me a hero on television. And it's made Aamir a hero.
He comes from an ordinary middleclass background so do I. He's average looking.So am I. I haven't used any makeup in Aamir. I look like Aamir."
Is Rajiv praying hard? "I don't believe in God I believe in karma."
