His first film ‘Johnny Gaddar’ was a blockbuster, and got him instant fame and recognition, leading to the opportunity to work with top-notch actors and filmmakers in Bollywood. At a media event in the Capital, Neil Nitin Mukesh spoke to Ankita Shukla and Bhavna Khullar of Spicezee.com, about his upcoming film ‘New York’ and talked about his chemistry with co-stars John and Katrina.Q. How was it working with John and Katrina?
Neil: Well, I first met John at YRF, and we hit it off really well. Later, we met at an event in Delhi and since then we’ve had great bonding. But the funny part began when we met Katrina and Kabir. Kabir is younger than all of us at heart. I was dreading to meet Katrina initially. She apparently used to be very serious on the sets earlier because she thought it’s a serious film. So I went up to her and said ‘Excuse me…can I…I mean…Hi I’m Neil’ (Laughs). Q. How was your experience of working in the film? Neil: I play Omar, a guy from Lajpat Nagar, New Delhi. Well, I couldn’t recognise myself during the shoot because I used to be absolutely clean shaven. The atmosphere on the sets of ‘New York’ was very relaxed and chilled out. Q. What exactly had happened with you at the US airport when you were detained? Neil: Yes, it was really weird. They couldn’t believe the fact that I was an Indian. It was because of my complexion that they thought so. I, then, asked them to search my name on Google, and they would know about my identity. They took sometime but later did the same to know about me. Q. What kind of response are you getting after the release of the film’s promos? Neil: The response to the promos is great. In fact, I have been getting calls from all over the world. It’s overwhelming because it’s a very important film for all of us. Q. ‘New York’ is your third film. Your choice of films seems to be different. Neil: Yes. It’s my third film and I’m very thankful for the kind of role I’ve got to play so early in my career. Q. What projects can we look forward to? Neil: Well, for now you can wait for ‘Jail`.
