Neil Nitin Mukesh will next be seen on the big screen in Bypass Road. Apart from acting in the film, Neil has written the script of the movie and has also produced it.
We recently met Neil and asked him how was it to multitask on a project. To which the actor said, “It was chaotic, but it was a great experience. I would definitely have to say that it was creatively high moments of my life and of my career. Also, if you see I have always tried to push the boundaries as far as cinema is concerned. From Johnny Gaddar to David to Jail to New York to Lafangey Parindey, I have always felt doing that as an actor. Sometimes success is in favour of me; sometimes, unfortunately, it does not hit the knots correct. But as far as content is concerned I have always tried to push the envelope.”
“With this one (Bypass Road) too I wanted to offer something very different to the audience. I wanted to introduce thriller of its true essence, the way a thriller should actually be, a suspense element, a murder mystery, a whodunit, a home invasion, all amalgamated into one. I think that is the reason why I started the process of wanting to make Bypass Road. But for me as an actor it was a great high to make sure that what I have written is actually coming to life, and as a producer, I didn’t have the choice but to make sure that it came to life. So, there were too many complexes, there were too many contradictories, but I think overall it really helped in making a brilliant film,” Neil added.
Bypass Road marks the directorial debut of Neil’s younger brother, Naman Nitin Mukesh. The film also stars Adah Sharma, Gul Panag, Shama Sikander, and Tahir Shabbir Mithaiwala. It will be hitting the screens on 8th November 2019.
