Neil Nitin Mukesh is stop-in-your-tracks handsome and a risk-taker, atleast where the roles he picks & chooses are concerned.
Neil Nitin Mukesh aka Neil Mathur’s name was suggested by singer Lata Mangeshwar and inspired by astronaut Neil Armstrong. Born on 15th January 1982, he is the son of singer Nitin Mukesh (remember So Gaya Ye Jahan from Tezaab?)and grandson of singer Mukesh.
He studied commerce in HR College before joining an acting course at Kishore Namit Kapoor’s Acting School and Anupam Kher’s Acting School. He assisted Aditya Chopra on the sets of Mujhse Dosti Karoge.
Neil, even as a child showed an affinity towards movies, when he acted small parts in Vijay (1988) and Jaise Karni Waise Barni (1989).
Neil Nitin Mukesh made his debut as a crook in Johnny Gaddar in 2007 that enjoyed critical acclaim but not box office success. He received several nominations for best debut.
His success graph will see some movement again in 2009 with four promising releases. New York with John Abraham and Katrina Kaif; Aa Dekhen Zara with Bipasha Basu in which he plays a photo journalist; Sudhir Mishra’s Tera Kya Hoga Johnny and Madhur Bhandarkar’s Jail.
