Khandelwal made his Bollywood debut with Ronnie Screwvala's action-thriller Aamir (2008).[26] He was cast as Dr. Aamir Ali, who returns to India from England and becomes the reluctant pawn of a terrorist group.[26] Film critic Taran Adarsh from Bollywood Hungama reviewed "Rajeev Khandelwal is remarkable in the title role. The film would've fallen flat had it been entrusted to an inferior actor, but Rajeev lends the right shades and emerges triumphant. Watch him emote with his eyes in the latter reels mainly, and you realize that he knows the craft so well. An excellent debut!".[27]CNN-IBN's Rajeev Masand added, "Uninhibited, spontaneous and blessed with unmistakable presence, Khandelwal holds the screen like a seasoned artist. Using his face as a canvas to display emotions, he emerges as the biggest strength of this little film."[28] The film grossed ₹18 million (US$230,000) domestically.[29] For his work in the film, he received the nomination of Filmfare Award for Best Male Debut. In 2011, Khandelwal had two film releases.[30] His first appearance was in the Bejoy Nambiar's thriller film Shaitan (2012) co-starring Kalki Koechlin.[30] He played the role of Inspector Arvind Mathur, who is assigned by the Police Commissioner to solve a case unofficially, as he is on suspension after throwing a corporator from the first floor of his own house for allegedly beating up a woman.[30] Taran Adarsh of entertainment portal of Bollywood Hungama wrote of his performance:"Rajeev Khandelwal, playing a cop who's fighting his inner demons, nails the role, giving a tight, focused performance".[31]

Khandelwal was next seen in Sanjiv Goenka's Soundtrack opposite Soha Ali Khan. He played the role of DJ, Raunak [Rajeev Khandelwal], who gets addicted to drugs and alcohol and loses his hearing ability. His career nosedives, but his love for music helps him resurrect himself.[32] Subhash K. Jha of NDTV reviewed "his performance is so accomplished that he proves, not for the first time, that he's among the most engaging actors today. For the money, time and attention, he is the true rock star."[33] Taran Adarsh added "Playing an emotionally unstable character is always taxing and an edgy journey for any actor, but Rajeev emerges triumphant with a bravura performance."[32] The film grossed ₹5.3 million (US$66,000) domestically.[34] Khandelwal next played alongside Shreyas Talpade and Mugdha Godse in the romantic comedy, Will You Marry Me? (2012).[35] However the film did not receive very good reviews.[36][37] Taran Adarsh praised Khandelwal as:"Rajeev Khandelwal handles his part with gusto."[38] The film grossed ₹0.32 crore (US$40,000) domestically.[39] His next release was the psychological mystery thriller, Table No. 21 (2013) with Paresh Rawal and Tena Desae where he played the role of Vivaan Agasthi.[40] Zee News reviewed his performance as "In this film, Rajeev has proven, yet again, the limit to which his acting skills reach, which – no doubts about that – is the sky."[41] The film grossed ₹10.9 crore (US$1.4 million) domestically.[42]

He next featured in the romantic comedy film Ishk Actually (2013) opposite Neha Ahuja.[43] He portrayed the character of Neil, who falls passionately for a girl named Gia.[44] Many reviewers questioned Khandelwal about the reason for signing the film and called it "Boredom".[45] The Times Of India cited of his performance:"Rajeev Khandelwal makes his presence felt, while the rest are mediocre.[46] The film grossed ₹0.34 crore (US$43,000) domestically.[47] Khandelwal next acted in the adventure film, Peter Gaya Kaam Se alongside Lekha Washington and Prashant Narayanan.[48] The film's release is on hold. Khandelwal plays the character of Peter Rodrigues in the film.[49] Rajshri Productions' drama thriller Samrat & Co. opposite Madalasa Sharma was Khandelwal's next release. He played the role of Samrat Tilakdhari, a detective who is approached by a lady with a strange case.[50] CNN-IBN criticised the film as:"Why so many good actors like Rajeev Khandelwal, Girish Karnad, Smita Jaykar and Indranil Sengupta agreed to do this film is the one mystery we were unable to solve."[51] Faheem Ruhani of India Today reviewed:"After watching this film you miss the Rajeev Khandelwal who debuted in the brilliantly made Aamir (2008). Better to watch the more thrilling CID on TV than suffer Samrat and his company.[52] The film grossed ₹1.29 crore (US$160,000) domestically.[53]
