When Neil shied away from smooching Deepika Padukone!
Although smooching on-screen has never looked like a big deal for most of the tinsel towners, Neil Nitin Mukesh is one actor who doesn’t seem to be very comfortable with the idea.
Reports reveal that when Neil had to kiss Deepika Padukone on-screen for their forthcoming flick, ‘Lafangey Parindey’, the actor got cold feet. Neil reportedly isn’t too pleased with the idea of kissing on-screen, and the actor has always stood by his no-kiss policy in all his films so far.
According to our source, this isn’t the first time that Neil didn’t want to lock lips with his co-star, as the actor’s refused to kiss actresses like Rimi Sen, Shahana Goswami and Mughda Godse on-screen in the past.
However, Pradeep Sarkar, the director of ‘Lafangey Parindey’, finally managed to convince the actor to kiss Dips in the flick, as it’s the demand of the script, according to reports.
Well, so Neil would now be seen smooching Deepika in ‘LP’, and how, for an insider has revealed that the lip-lock surely is pretty long and intense. Wonder what persuaded Neil – Pradeep Sarkar or the idea of kissing the sultry Deepika!

Neil hides stunts from dad
Actor Neil Nitin Mukesh, who has done some daredevil stunts in his forthcoming film "Lafangey Parindey", says he never speaks to his singer father Nitin Mukesh about these dangerous scenes.
"I don’t tell my father what stunts I am doing. Instead of me, he will try and do them. He knows I am not going to tell him about what stunts I am doing. During 'Aa Dekhen Zara', I had jumped from nine-storied building. After jumping, I had called dad and said that I am all right," Neil told IANS in an interview.
Even when he did stunts in director Pradeep Sarkar's "Lafangey Parindey", Neil didn’t inform his dad.
"This time when I finished my stunts, I called him and said all went well. It’s okay with him now. It’s a part of our life. We have to do these things," he said.
"Must give a lot of credit to action director Shyam Kaushal. He had choreographed the stunts very well and trained me properly before the shoot," said Neil.
But Neil refuses to promote such stunts.
"I won’t promote these stunts. I don’t want anyone to try them. We did it only and purely for entertainment. There were many people, enough security and roads were blocked before we performed the stunts. One should never try them," said Neil.
Set in the mean streets of Mumbai, "Lafangey Parindey" is a love story where Neil plays Nandu, a boxer who pummels his opponents blindfolded. Deepika Padukone features as Pinky Palkar, an ambitious blind girl who dances with roller skates on her feet.
In the film, Neil teaches Deepika to see and she teaches him how to love.

Neil Nitin Mukesh wounded in Lafange Parinde shoot
It seems doing traumatic roles has become a part of Neil Nitin Mukesh's acting karma. For his role in Lafange Parinde the actor is required to fight man to man with his adversaries, with the result he has bloody bruises and cuts all over.He is injured from head to toe and it's not faked for the camera.
"There's nothing fake about the fists of fury that fly in Pradeep Sarkar's film. It requires the rawest of physical violence and it can't be faked. So if you see me now I'm covered with welters, wounds and bruises, all gifted to me every day while shooting this, the most dangerous film of my career," Neil told IANS.
Luckily Neil has moved out of his South Mumbai home to Powai for the duration of the shooting of Lafange Parinde.
"Otherwise if my mother saw what I look like, she would have freaked out. I'm getting physically hurt every day. I'm covered in bruises. Because I am light-skinned, the hurt marks show up bright red on me within seconds. I look alarming! Even to myself in the mirror," he said.
Neil has temporarily packed off his makeup man. "I don't need Aseem bhai to paint on fake blood. My stunt director Shyam Kaushalji is doing a very good job of making my bruises and lacerations look real because they are real."
This isn't Neil's first tryst with danger.
"Shyam Kaushalji is someone I really respect. I touch his feet every morning although he really puts me through the most dangerous situations. In 'New York', he made me run across a street with speeding cars. In Aa Dekhe Zaraa, he had thrown me off the 18th floor. But nothing had prepared me for what Shyamji has in store for me in Lafange Parinde."
Though Neil is unwilling to reveal the plot, Lafange Parinde is about rivalry among bike gangs of Mumbai. It requires Neil to engage in serious and authentic fights on the streets.
"Fortunately, I'm not a stranger to these kind of raw... combats. I may come across as softspoken now. But I've gone through my share of campus fights during my college days. In fact, I've a fierce temper problem. So far I had kept it in check. But now in 'Lafange Parinde' I'm disturbed to see the violent ill-tempered side of me emerging effortlessly."
"What surprises me is the deep dark angry side to dada (director Pradeep Sarkar)'s personality. Who would have thought the man who made Parineeta and Laga Chunari Mein Daag had so much anger and violence in him?"

When Neil Nitin Mukesh was detained at New York airport
The actor’s fair complexion made it difficult for the immigration officials to believe that he was an Indian. This happened when Neil Nitin Mukesh flew to the US to shoot the Yashraj film New York .
The film, directed by Kabir Khan and co-starring Katrina Kaif , John Abraham and Irrfan Khan , is about the discrimination people of certain community and religion face in the US after the 9/11 attacks.
Ironically, Neil, who plays a Muslim in the film, saw life imitating art when he was detained at the airport because he looked too fair to be an Indian and that made the officials suspicious.
“I can pass off as a Britisher, American, Kashmiri easily because my skin tone and complexion can blend anywhere. But this incident changed my attitude of how I will approach my role in New York which also dwells upon discrimination,” Neil told a news agency.
To convince the immigration officials of his identity, Neil even told them he was an actor from India and they could confirm it by googling his name.
“I told him to google search my name. When he realised his folly, he was still not willing to let me go and started asking questions about my profession like what kind of films I do and why am I in New York,” the actor is quoted as saying.
In a way, Neil’s detention gave him an insight about his role in the film. The young actor said that while leaving the immigration office, he thanked the official because he had found the crux of what ‘New York’ is all about.
The film releases this Friday.

John and Neil Nitin Mukesh in Kabir Khan's Next
In Kabul Express he worked with a pair of male stars, John Abraham and Arshad Warsi, and now director Kabir Khan is likely to shoot with another pair of male stars for his next venture for Yashraj Films. According to sources Khan's next film, which he calls "a contemporary film with relevance" is likely to feature John Abraham again alongwith Neil Nitin Mukesh.
For 26-year-old Neil, his deal with Yashraj will be a homecoming of sorts. He had earlier made brief appearances as a child artiste in Yash Chopra's Vijay (1988) and Jaise Karni Waisi Bharni (1989). He has also assisted Aditya Chopra and Kunal Kohli. While he refused to divulge any details, saying it was "premature to talk,"The Johnny Gaddar star did confess that he was keeping his fingers crossed. "He is super thrilled about the possibilities," disclosed a close friend of Neil's.
John Abraham, who has worked earlier with Yashraj is expected to be more blas? about his new project but sources close to the star reveal that he is relieved that all past differences with producer Aditya Chopra have been resolved.
The story goes that when John had entered the Yashraj camp with Kabul Express, Aditya Chopra had offered Jhoom Barabar Jhoom to him. However John had too many queries about the script which annoyed Aditya. Further, John dilly-dallied about meeting Aditya who called him several times. This irked Adi and he went ahead and signed Bobby Deol for the film. When John heard that he had been dropped he did try and seek reconciliation but with little success until now.
Sources say that Kabir who had been keen on casting John, approached Aditya and facilitated a meeting between the two. "Kabir and John are the best of friends apart from having a healthy working relationship and so he is keen on casting John for YRF's next. Aditya Chopra was apprehensive about casting John in the film due to his past experiences. However, Aditya Chopra had a meeting with John and informed him about a two film contract with Yashraj Films. Apart from Kabir's film, John will also do a second film under the same banner."
When contacted Kabir Khan did not deny meeting John, however, he refused to confirm that he had signed him for the film. "I will only be casting in February and nothing has been finalised yet. It is too early to talk about anything now," says Kabir.
John Abraham too remained unavailable for comment.
