Neil's Tantrums

Neil Nitin Mukesh, the dashing actor who made his successful debut with Johnny Gaddaar, has walked out of Tigmanshu Dhulia’s upcoming film ‘Good Night’ just one week before the shooting was to start in full swing.

Neil Nitin Mukesh wants the director to postpone the film towards the end of this year or to early next year, as he needed at least three months time to get into the skin of the character of the said film

Earlier, Neil Nitin Mukesh had signed the film only after having listened the script from the producer Vinay Kumar Sinha and the director Tigmanshu Dhulia. In fact, initially the actor was very excited about the character and wanted to start shooting as soon possible for the film. It was only after that the date had been fixed as February and he accepted the signing amount.

But later, Neil changed his mind and when director Dhulia called him to talk about the impending outdoor shooting spell of Rajasthan, he simply put forth new conditions for working in the film. Neil has been trying to impress the director that he is a perfectionist like Aamir Khan and want to act in a film only after preparing for it in the best possible manner.

But director Tigmanshu Dhulia and producer Vinay Sinha are in a fix as they wanted to make this movie as quickly as possible and can not wait for the actor to complete his homework for months. Now, they are planning to change the lead actor and rope in someone else in his place to complete the film in time.

The buzz doing the rounds in the industry is that Neil Nitin Mukesh’s unprofessional behaviour towards Tigmanshu Dhulia is the result of his signing a big banner film like Yash Raj’s next, which is being directed by Kabir Khan of ‘Kabul Express’ fame. In order to make time for this film, Neil has been trying to sideline his earlier commitments towards the producers.
