It has been learnt that the co-accused in Mumbai 26/11 attacks, Tahawwur Hussain Rana, wanted to gain entry into Bollywood by producing a movie with Rahul Bhatt (son of director Mahesh Bhatt) in the lead. This has been revealed by David Coleman Headley, prime accused in the Mumbai case, before a Chicago court during interrogation by Rana’s attorney Patrick W Blegan.

Rana, a Pakistani Canadian,however had to sacrifice his plans as because it is against the principles of ideals of Lashkar-e-Taiba to venture into movies and entertainment avenues. Headley who introduced himself to Rahul as an army ranger, told the court that he enjoyed his company and in fact, had begun to become protective about him. He had told him not to go to South Mumbai on November 26, the day when 10 terrorists from LET landed on the Mumbai shores and launched a major terrorist offensive for three days that killed more than 160 people.

Headley also revealed that he had talked of bringing Rahul to the tribal areas of Pakistan for ‘sight seeing’. But he did not agree with the defense attorney that there was any conspiracy to kidnap or kill him.
