And so Neil Nitin Mukesh too may soon join the Salman Khan camp. The actor, who will be next see with the Dabangg Khan in Sooraj Barjatya’s family drama, Prem Ratan Dhan Paayo, says he is obviously overjoyed at the opportunity to work with Salman Khan.

Said Neil, speaking of his future plans: “I will be shooting for Soorajji’s (Barjatya) Prem Ratan Dhan Paayo with Salman Khan, and a Tamil film directed by Murugadoss with Vijay. I am also doing Ishqeria with Richa Chadda.”

Neil has starred in films like Kabir Khan’s New York, David, Lafangey Parindey, Players and 7 Khoon Maaf, but the handsome actor has yet to receive appreciation for his work.

The underrated star is gearing up for his role in the Rajshri production, post which he will be seen as the anti-hero in the Tamil film Kanthi.
