Neil Mukesh likes peculiar titles..

The two new films that Neil Nitin Mukesh of Johnny Gaddar fame has signed have peculiar titles.

"One of them is called Fame while the other is tentatively titled Freeze. I guess audiences expect unusual titles from me after Johnny Gaddar and my release Tera Kya Hoga Johnny," said Neil.

Talking about his role in Fame, he said: "Tigmanshu Dhulia's film is about the shortcuts to a bulky bank balance taken by youngsters, again a moral fable like Johnny Gaddar. Maybe, producers see me as the good boy gone to seed."

Another day, another role. Neil has also bagged his own superhero flick, thereby creating an atmosphere of more comparisons with Hrithik Roshan.

"The film from Eros, tentatively titled Freeze, is going to be directed by debutant Jehangir Surti. It's about a man who comes upon a supernatural power and how it changes his life."

But the first one to come out will be Sudhir Mishra's Tera Kya Hoga Johnny.

"It's an episodic look at the life of a street child named Johnny. I come into one of the episodes."

Tell him it's bizarre that his first two films have 'Johnny' in their titles and he laughs. "Yeah, it is rather uncanny. And when I was a child I'd often call myself Johnny for no apparent reason."

Even after playing the roguish double-dealing Johnny Gaddar Neil has earned a staid family-oriented good boy image.
