Neil
Nitin
Mukesh
made
his
debut
as
a
leading
actor
with
Sriram
Raghavan's
2007
film
Johnny
Gaddar
in
which
his
performance
was
lauded
by
the
critics.
Over
the
years,
the
actor
featured
in
films
like
Jail,
7
Khoon
Maaf,
New
York,
Players,
Prem
Ratan
Dhan
Payo
to
name
a
few.
Recently
in
a
chat
with
Hindustan
Times,
Neil
slammed
Hindi
filmmakers
and
writers
for
remaking
films
instead
of
focusing
on
original
ideas
and
contents.
The
actor
said
that
there
are
various
sub-genres,
like
psychological
thrillers,
political
thrillers,
horror
thrillers,
and
so
on
adding
that
he
is
curious
to
know
why
any
filmmaker
isn't
exploring
those
genres.
Neil
was
quoted
as
saying,
"There
are
various
sub-genres,
like
psychological
thrillers,
political
thrillers,
horror
thrillers
and
so
on.
Why
aren't
we
exploring
those?
We
are
still
remaking
films
instead
of
coming
up
with
original
ideas
and
content.
In
Bollywood,
we
have
original
ideas,
but
I
feel
that
we
prefer
to
play
it
safe."
Speaking
about
how
an
actor's
worth
is
solely
determined
by
commercial
success,
he
revealed
that
he
tries
to
strike
a
balance
by
doing
all
kinds
of
films.
"I
believe
that
in
showbiz,
I
have
to
be
a
little
sensible
and
strike
a
balance.
The
truth
is
that,
not
just
in
our
industry,
but
among
the
audience
as
well,
the
general
perception
of
an
actor
is
based
on
his
commercial
success.
While
I
love
being
a
part
of
a
film
like
Jail,
I
will
also
do
entertainers
like
Players
and
Prem
Ratan
Dhan
Payo,"
the
taboid
quoted
him
as
saying.
Workwise,
Neil
Nitin
Mukesh
was
last
seen
in
Prabhas-Shraddha
Kapoor
starrer
Saaho.
His
upcoming
release
is
Ankush
Bhatt's
delayed
film
Firrkie
alongside
Jackie
Shroff
and
Kay
Kay
Menon.
