We spoke to Neil Nitin Mukesh about his four hour visit and more.
"Earlier I had different approach for all the convicts but after visiting the Thane Jail and spending with them 4 hours has completely changed my perspective towards them and for this Jail visit I was accompanied by Madhur, writer of the film and cinematographer."
Further he spoke that, " I met one convict whose court trial didn't come since 2 years and he was innocent as how my character is falsefully charged similarly he was charged for possessing drugs but in real he was having just cigarettes and about the interaction with the convicts he said that."
I will never forget those voices and faces as unfortunately we were not allowed to speak with the convicts who have death sentence then later on we all ate with the convicts the same food and I was personally very surprised that food was very good."
He got quite emotional when some convicts call him as Johnny Gaddar wala hero aaya hai..."and some didn't recognize him."
