It looks like Neil Nitin Mukesh has given up his heroic aspirations to jump on the other side — the bad side. Neil played a negative character in Bejoy Nambiar’s Wazir. This was followed by his evil step-brother act in Sooraj Barjatya’s Prem Ratan Dhan Payo. Sources suggest that Neil will now play the villain in Rohit Shetty’s Golmaal Again.
Says the source, “It’s a fun kind of villain. The kind Shakti Kapoor used to play in the 1980s and ’90s. Neil has an innocent face. It is a good disguise for playing a character who is shady but not evil.”
The actor, who got married earlier this year, has been struggling to survive as a leading man. The Tamil film Katthi gave him a new lease of life as a villain. He’s now set to play Sanjay Gandhi in Madhur Bhandarkar’s next.
