Rhehan Malliek a.k.a. popular television actor Gaurav Chanana makes his big Bollywood debut today with PZNZ Media's 'Ishkq in Paris' alongside Preity Zinta.

While the actor was no stranger to the camera, he chose to attend workshops for a month to sharpen his skills.

Talking about what drew him to the film shot extensively in Paris, Rhehan says, "Paris, at –20 degrees celsius, was challenging and very beautiful. The film has a simple story with a little message. For me, that's what Hindi films are about — entertainment and maybe a message. This is a film you can watch with your family and have a good time."

All praise for his co-star and producer Preity, the actor adds, "Preity Zinta is such a huge star.. I was shocked that she was so humble and normal! She not only treats you as an equal, but she is so generous.. As an actor Preity's very selfless and is only interested in making the scene better. Working with her was so enriching."
