After Aa Dekhen Zara, Neil Nitin Mukesh has hit the theatres with Yash Raj’s
Certainly it is. Everyone dreams of working with Yash Raj Films. And my association with the banner goes back long. In fact, before I came to acting, I started my career as an assistant director and I worked as an assistant in Mujhse Dosti Karoge. So it’s like homecoming. It’s a great feeling working with Yash Raj Films. Your grandfather, the legendary Mukesh and your father Nitin Mukesh have given some of their careers’ biggest hits songs with the Chopras And now I am sure I will make it the third one. Actually, it’s also making me a bit nervous. My association too goes long back as I also worked as a child actor in Yash Chopra’s Vijay. Coming from a family of singers, my grandfather and my father were associated with Yash Raj as singers but mine is of an actor. So it’s also comforting that they didn’t call me because of my lineage but for my acting. You play a Muslim student from Delhi ... Yes, who goes to the USA for higher studies and immediately falls in love with New York and gets a wonderful set of friends. But being a Muslim, he has to share his part of misfortune after the 9/11 attacks. Apparently, you were emotionally attached to your character? It’s all because of Kabir Khan. He has treated all the scenes very aesthetically and the story being very real life it touched our hearts. New York has a gripping story line. Both Katrina Kaif and John Abraham are a bit senior to you. How was it working with them? In one word: ‘Wonderful’.
I always wanted to work with them even before I came to acting. They
are wonderful people. Also, I shouldn’t miss out on Irrfan Khan. He
is one of the best actors we have today. — TWF
