3G is an original concept and film: Neil Nitin Mukesh

MUMBAI: Bollywood actor and heartthrob Neil Nitin Mukesh states that his forthcoming film 3G is completely original and unique in its concept.

“First of all, I want to add to all the statements that it is an original concept and story,” the 31-year-old said on Friday at the first look launch of the film. “It is very important for all of you to know that it is not a take-off from any of the Hollywood films as some people probably think it is.”

“I have been questioned about this issue earlier as well and I want everyone to know that this is a very original idea,” he added.

The actor’s new project, 3G, is a horror film that revolves around a mobile phone and the situations that ensue after Neil’s character buys himself one.

For Neil, who is known for playing edgy characters in the past with films such as Johnny Gaddaar, Aa Dekhen Zara, Jail and most recently, David, it is the thrill of playing something completely opposite to his real self that attracts him to dark roles; this is what gets him going.

“As far as playing edgy characters is concerned, I am just a 31-year-old child in person. In my personal life, I am not edgy at all,” he said. “I am not at all like the characters I play on screen and that’s the whole fun of playing characters on screen which are nice, edgy and dark — something that I am not in reality.”

“It has to be a flip and there has to be a challenge in the film for me. Go out there, face the camera and be a person you are not in real life. 3G again, for me is very dark, very edgy and very scary,” he added.

Co-directed by Sheershak Anand and Shantanu Ray Chhibber, 3G, releasing March 15, also stars actor Sonal Chauhan.
