Rajkummar Rao Launches Neelkanth by IRS Officers; Satyam Srivastava & Rajeev Garg

It's almost a dream come true for an author, if a Bollywood Superstar expresses his desire to be a part of the film based on your book. Actor Rajkummar Rao who attended the launch of 'Neelkanth' by IRS Officers, Satyam Srivastava and Rajeev Garg in Title Waves Bandra; Mumbai, expressed his wish to be a part of a film based on the book. He further added that he is always in search of good stories and Neelkanth’s storyline has excited him a lot as an actor. Neelkanth: Truth, Lies, Deceit & Murder is a fast-paced crime-mystery-thriller which has been published by Leadstart.

Satyam Srivastava and Rajeev Garg are engineers who were batch mates during their training period of Indian Revenue Service (IRS) and now, they both them work as IRS officers, praising them for managing their busy schedules for writing the book, Rao said, “Both of them are civil servants, so it feels nice to see that apart from doing their job they are following their passion of writing. I am sure it was tough for them because they told me that they used to write drafts of the book in the middle of daily travelling, so hats off to their passion. It’s a mystery thriller about a cop in Delhi, so the concept of this book itself excited me a lot. After knowing both of them and after knowing its basic storyline, I am looking forward to reading it.”

Sharing his feeling after Rao came to book launch event, Rajeev Garg said, “It was difficult for us to think that Rajkummar Rao will come for our book launch event but I am glad that he accepted the invitation very humbly and gracefully, so we both are very grateful to him.”
