Dark characters calling Neil Nitin Mukesh

FromJail(2009) to his recent flickDavid, it appears that Neil has a fetish fordark characters. The actor has himself confirmed that he is attracted towards this genre and he finds this genus a little challenging too. Neil said, “I like doing dark and edgy films because very rarely do actors get a chance to show their skills. Everyone is busy doing slapstick roles in tried-and-tested box-office formula films. These characters give me the space to do something different.”

On the role of Neil inDavid, director Sheershak Anand said, “He plays a software engineer who transforms into someone dark, edgy and menacing. The role required Neil to transform physically to look the part. We tried a few things and he suggested that he apply kajal to get the look right. We added the slick gelled hair, leather clothes, a black palette, goth symbols and a earring to his look.”

Considering the fact of his fantasy for edgy roles, Neil will also be seen in a very old-school love story calledIshqeria.His complexion is fair, but he portrays dark characters in his own way which is making him the first choice of directors for such a genre. The actor is now focusing on other categories as well.
