"I jump off nine floors in Aa Dekhen Zara!" - Neil Nitin Mukesh

BollywoodSavvy — Wed, 25 Mar 2009 15:45:13 +0000

He entered the industry as Johnny…That’s Johnny Gaddaar on celluloid and Neil Nitin Mukesh to the world. His unconventional debut was one that was unexpected and in many ways illogical. Avoiding clichés associated with debut films, his role as the greedy traitor in Johnny Gaddaar fetched him critical acclaim and numerous awards in the debut category. Grandson to the legend singer Mukesh and son to Nitin Mukesh, his renowned lineage had certainly paved a great way to a prospective musical career but instead of the “Sa Re Ga Ma Pa,” Neil preferred to hear the rhythm of “lights, camera, and action.” Contrary to popular belief, Neil’s first movie was not Johnny Gaddaar. As a child artist, he appeared in Vijay as the young Rishi Kapoor. At the end of the week, Neil’s second film of his career will be hitting the big screens, Aa Dekhen Zara. With expectations running high from the light-eyed hero, Neil gives BollySpice the lowdown on working with sexy Bipasha, his magical camera and being crowned the “Thriller King.”
