He was a student of [[Kerala Law Academy Law College]], [[Thiruvananthapuram]] from 1982.
-During his studies, he joined [[State Bank of Travancore]], Kottyam Main Branch. He started his Malayalam film career as an assistant director with the Navodaya Production Company at the age of 19. He had his lessons from the filmmaker [[Jijo Punnose]], son of [[Navodaya Appachan]].

After his debut film, he got associated with the making of ''Bible ke Khaniya'' (Stories from Bible) produced by Navodaya for Doordarshan in 1990–1993. He was signed by Kamalhassan to direct a period film in Tamil written by renowned writer Sujatha in 1990, which never took off due to budget constraints. While he was with State Bank Of Travancore, Sri. Sreenivasan, then general manager, supported his cultural inclinations and special permissions were given to him for directing his debut film ''Chanakyan''.  The bank authorities were supportive but the rules never permitted them to protect Rajeev's services in the bank.
