Tearing
a
page
from
his
adopted-bhaiyya
John
Abraham"s
boyz" book
of
badmashi
for
four
consecutive
nights
last
week
Neil
Nitin
Mukesh
has
been
cruising
the
streets
of
Mumbai
on
a
bike.
But
while
John
likes
to
skid
off
on
his
foreign-made
bike
in
the
middle
of
the
night
for
fun,
Neil
was
doing
it
for
a
movie.
In
Yash
Raj
Films"
new
production
directed
by
Pradeep
Sarkar
Neil
plays
a
biker
cruising
the
streets
of
Mumbai
with
co-stars
Kay
Kay
Menon
and
Piyush
Mishra.
Though
the
production
unit
tried
to
keep
it
a
secret
Neil
seen
shooting
right
through
the
night
in
various
parts
of
Mumbai
including
Kings
Circle,
Ballard
Pier,
Marine
Lines
and
the
Asiatic
Library.
Though
the
security
bandobast
at
all
the
shooting
spots
was
foolproof
at
Marine
Lines
a
large
group
of
oglers
and
hecklers
surrounded
Neil.
Even
as
the
security
guards
tried
to
fob
off
the
unwanted
mobs,
matters
got
progressively
sticky
for
Neil
and
he
had
to
be
whisked
away
from
the
venue.
Says
Neil,
“Luckily
Yashraj"s
security
arrangements
are
impeccable.
We
never
knew
there
would
be
so
many
people
on
the
streets
post-midnight.
Mumbai
in
the
dead
of
the
night
was
a
new
experience
for
me.
This
was
the
first
time
I
was
shooting
on
the
streets
of
Mumbai
since
Sudhir
Mishra"s
Tera
Kya
Hoga
Johnny."
Though
Neil
isn"t
revealing
much
about
the
role
in
Sarkar"s
film
it"s
learnt
that
he
plays
a
biker
and
has
many
dangerous
biking
stunts
to
perform.
These
never-before
action
scenes
are
being
co-ordinated
by
action
director
Shyam
Kaushal.
Neil
has
apparently
had
several
close
shaves
on
the
skidding
wheels
this
week.
Laughs
Neil,
“I"m
not
telling
you
anything
beyond
the
fact
that
our
film
is
at
the
moment
titled
Production
No
37.
Don"t
ask
me
why.
I
don"t
think
Yashraj
has
made
36
films.
And
yes
my
parents
hear
about
me
doing
dangerous
stunts
they"ll
freak
out."
Neil
can"t
wait
to
work
with
Deepika
Padukone.
The
two
are
paired
together
for
the
first
time
in
Pradeep
Sarkar"s
film.
“Deepika
and
I
vibe
very
well.
I"ve
known
her
from
the
time
she
was
seeing
Ranbir
Kapoor.
We"ve
gone
out
for
dinner.
Deepika
and
I
have
been
rehearsing
rigorously
for
this
film
for
one
month.
She"s
a
lovely
co-star.
I"m
looking
forward
to
working
with
her
she
starts
shooting
at
the
end
of
January."
