After years of on-screen success, many talented actors decide to take their chances on the other side of the camera.
Actors’ graduating to the level of Directors is nothing new in industry. The latest to join the trend is Zindagi 50-50 fame Actor Rajan Verma with his Advertising directorial venture with RADO Switzerland Watches. Rajan Verma who had tried his hand acting is turning to direction — and with good reason. Rado is a Swiss luxury manufacturer of watches, with headquarters in Lengnau, Switzerland.
