Neil on Playing Mukesh in the Biopic

I know him better than anyone else. Dad also wants me to play my grandfather for emotional reasons. But the business of cinema is very different. As actors, we look for opportunities, but we’re given them basis what others perceive of us. Your draw to the box office is important,” he added.
