Neil Busy in Bangkok and Paris

Neil Nitin Mukesh is a very, very busy man! Recently, he was gone for Tae-kwon-do training to Bangkok, where he shot two back-to-back ads (one of which was rather daring, we hear!), and is next, set to star in Sanjay Gadhvi's new movie, 7 Days in Paris.

Neil underwent a crash-course in the martial arts form in Bangkok in preparation for an ad for Gen-X innerwear. For this ad, Neil also directed his own action scenes, marking his progression to his ultimate goal of being a director. Following this ad, he shot an erotic ad for an aphrodisiacal deodorant with a dozen sexy models.

Next on, Neil will be preparing to shoot for Sanjay Gadhvi in a movie that was earlier shelved during recession. Now that the economy has picked up, it has become a financially feasible proposition to produce the movie, 7 Days in Paris, which is about two strangers that meet and fall in love with each other in Paris over seven days. Neil immediately loved the romantic script, and envisions Katrina Kaif as the female lead for the movie. However, as Katrina has already committed herself for three movies this year, it is uncertain whether she will agree to Sanjay's movie.

From all his initial ventures, be it Johnny Gaddar, New York, or Jail, 7 Days in Paris is surely a different stroke among Neil's other 'serious cinema' endeavors. How much of a success it will garner at BO? Perhaps the sensual advert which will precede the release of the movie will offer some grades' line to judge the romantic edge this actor can bring about in his role.
