Neil Nitin Mukesh is working with Rajshri Productions for the first time in their next family outing, Prem Ratan Dhan Payo'. He also shares screen space with Salman Khan for the first time, playing his younger brother on screen. With Khan being known as Rajshri's eternal romantic hero, Mukesh revealed that he once told him that Mukesh's career would be left incomplete if he didn't work with Rajshri. "Salman bhai told me once that your career is incomplete if you don't do one Rajshri film. I asked him Why do you think that?' And he said, It just cleanses you and connects you. The people, the audience will relate to you much stronger after that.' And this is when he knew that the kind of films I was doing was thrillers and grey characters. Salman bhai is adorable. He's a great guy, a people's person and he is literally like an elder brother to me. This is the first time in my life that I am playing a younger brother to a man on screen who actually reflects being an elder brother in real life. A man of his stature just going out there and taking care of not just his friends and people of his own class, but unanimously of everybody. It's very difficult and very humbling an experience for me to have worked with him."
Prem Ratan Dhan Payo' also stars Sonam Kapoor and is slated for a 12th November release.
