Neil Nitin Mukesh hopes for Johnny Gaddaar's re-release
In a conversation with us, Neil mentioned that there are a lot of his films that he wants to see getting re-released in theatres.
"I think if my first film, Johnny Gaddaar, is re-released, the cult status that it's received today and the audience that's still crazy about it — it didn't get its due at the box office back in its days. It would be nice to see that film re-release and go through that nostalgic feeling again," said Neil.
The actor added, "But there are a lot of my films (which should be re-released). I want New York to come back. But Johnny Gaddaar is definitely a film like that (deserving a re-release)."
Neil Nitin Mukesh on his recent release Hisaab Barabar
Continuing the conversation, Neil Nitin Mukesh spoke about his recently released movie, Hisaab Barabar. The actor revealed his first thoughts about the film's storyline. "It was very thought-provoking, very exciting script, and had an outstanding writing. It is a very topical film and has some message that you definitely need to communicate to your audience, and some awareness to create. But it is also set in a very realistic, day-to-day life of a common man and has a kind of comic satire-ish take on it. So, I really liked it in that sense," he shared.
Meanwhile, Hisaab Barabar is available for streaming on ZEE5 and with your OTTplay Premium subscription. Keep following this space for more updates from the world of streaming and movies!
