Neil Nitin Mukesh to play a paraplegic in 'Bypass Road'
Neil Nitin Mukesh.
Actor Neil Nitin Mukesh who is playing the role of a paraplegic in his brother's directorial debut 'Bypass Role' says that the role turned out to be very challenging.
"It's been a challenging role because firstly the film is a thriller plus my character is that of a paraplegic," Neil said in a statement.
"There has been a major physical transformation as well because I was in great shape for 'Saaho' but for this role I had to gain weight. A man who is wheelchair bound can't have six packs, we had to make it look realistic," he added.
'Bypass Road' marks the directorial debut of Neil's younger brother Naman Nitin Mukesh.
It also stars Adah Sharma, Gul Panag and Rajit Kapur.
The film is a thriller drama, which is jointly produced by NNM Films and Madan Paliwal of MIRAJ.

Neil, who has turned a writer and a producer with the film, said there was a "lot of research that went into the equipment used".
"Since I have gained weight pushing myself was also tough, I had my trainer on set because the shoulder goes for a toss. We shoot for 16-17 hours a day and there are action sequences in the wheelchair. Besides that, you have to make sure the camera is following you correctly so you need to control the speed. So there's a great amount of detailing that's gone into this role." Neil said.
The actor also added that "95 per cent of the film is completeand the project is nearing a wrap. Indian cinema hasn't seen a film like this one and we are hoping for a great launch".
