Neil Nitin Mukesh turns producer

Bollywood actor Neil Nitin Mukesh has decided to add a new feather to his cap by turning producer. And the first project which he has taken up to finance will be helmed by his brother, Naman.

Neil Nitin Mukesh’s maiden venture also stars actress Adah Sharma as the protagonist. Through his production house, NNM Films, the actor is planning to work with a lot of fresh faces.


“Our entire casting is quite offbeat because we don’t want to embrace a tried and tested formula. There are so many stories to be told, so many new faces to be discovered and I’d like to use NNM Films as a platform to showcase raw talent,” said Mukesh.

Talking about her role in the untitled movie, Adah Sharma said, “I’m playing a fashion entrepreneur. Fashion and style are very innate to my persona. I’ve grown up watching films like Me Before You (2016), so I instantly connected with my character that lends an emotional graph to the film.”

The film will start production in the coming few months.
