He
is
distinctly
known
for
his
good
looks
and
slowly
and
steadily
he's
made
a
name
for
himself
in
the
league
of
performing
actors.
Why
not
we
say,
after
all,
his
choice
of
films
is
extraordinary
and
it's
more
than
apparent
that
stardom
isn't
what
he
is
vying
for.
hi
blitz,neil
nitin
mukesh,
the
son
of
legendary
singer
Mukesh,
has
gone
ahead
and
did
a
cover
for
Hi
Blitz
that
is
far
from
conventional.
Neither
retro,
nor
high
fashion,
it
is,
hold
your
breath,
a
la
anti-fashion.
Yes!
A
complete
geeky

Neil
makes
no
bones
about
the
fact
that
he
is
here
to
perform,
as
he
says,
"I
have
come
here
as
an
actor,
only
the
audience
can
make
star
out
of
me." He
started
his
career
with
a
small
budget
film
unlike
his
contemporaries
Ranbir
Kapoor
and
Imran
Khan
who
made
a
smashing
entry
but
like
the
industrywallas
say
he
might
just
be
the
dark
horse
of
Hindi
cinema
and
that
certainly
shows
in
his
attitude.
Says
Neil,
"I
am
one
of
those
guys
who
don't
leave
anything
midway.
When
Johnny
Gaddar
got
stuck,
many
people
told
me
to
move
on
but
I
didn't.
I
don't
discuss
how
much
money
any
movie
makes.
I
am
happy
as
a
creative
person."
