Any thoughts?

Haven't seen him since ages and his last slightly popular stint was New York, almost a decade and a half ago.

No idea. He was very promising in Johnny Gaddar though.Haven’t seen him in anything else that I can think of off the top of my head since. But that’s probably the reason. I guess I answered my own question

He is very underrated,


Ranbir got all big roles on the plate. and he remained with nothing

That could be true. But I also wonder if Neil was not great at networking back then. Some of these young folks like Siddharth, Varun, Ranbir and a couple others, assisted on sets of movies that they were not starring in any capacity in. They were Assistant Directors? idk. That way they get a bit friendly and win the trust of big directors and producers like KJo, Aditya Chopra, SLB. They got a lot of films following that too with such banners.

Maybe coz he looks more like a foreigner than Indian, but less like a foreigner than a foreigner.😆 (If you know what I mean. I hope this is not disrespectful coz that is not my intention at all.)

So people didnt know what to make of him? I never found him hot. His acting chops were much appreciated in Johny Gaddar but after that things didnt go very well for him I think. Atleast I don't remember any of his movies.

Nepotism didnt help him either.

Possibly also lacked screen presence. There's barely any news of him attending any of these B-town parties and weddings. I think proactively networking could've been an issues and deprived him of some opportunities too.

Male version of Esha Deol, maybe


A classic case of nepotism not helping and the audience not warming up to him
