Sushmita Sen’s brother Rajeev to make film debut with thriller Iti

Rajeev Sen, younger brother of actress and Miss Universe 1994 Sushmita Sen, is the latest sibling to join the movies. Rajeev will make his acting debut with the film Iti: Can You Solve Your Own Murder?

The thriller, written and directed by Vishal Mishra, is being produced by Mandiraa Entertainment and actor Vivek Oberoi’s Oberoi Mega Entertainment.

The film has a unique concept in which a woman has to solve her own murder against a ticking clock. Rajeev plays an integral character in the upcoming film.

"Movies, acting, performing are a massive part of my life,” the first-time actor told the news agency IANS. “To get such a brilliantly written role in a concept-driven and unique thriller for my debut movie is an honour.”

Rajeev Sen said he always had a hidden desire to express his creative side through acting, and his famous older sister was an inspiration. “My sister, the most beautiful person Sushmita Sen, also inspires me largely," he said. "A self-made woman who made the country proud and is a global icon. I am so proud to be her brother and fortunate to have her support.”

Shooting for the film is due to begin in September or October. The rest of the cast is yet to be announced.
