Nagesh Kukunoor is the one who's bearing the brunt of his highhandedness.
There was a time when newcomers would fight hard to be a part of a Nagesh Kukunoor film. But that now is a thing of the past.
Nagesh is currently trying hard to get two of his films- ‘8 x 10 Tasveer' and ‘Aashayein' to see the light of the day.
After critical acclaim with ‘Iqbal' and ‘Dor', one flop ‘Bombay to Bangkok' has changed it all. He's trying hard but Akshaye Khanna and Abhay Deol have turned down the film! Neil has turned down Nagesh's offer too.
Apparently Nagesh with a corporate house backing him, had approached Neil a few years ago. He had agreed to do the film then but after things changing for him and Nagesh, he's lost total interest.
But Neil has also already turned out others too. He had recently walked out of Tigmanshu Dhulia's latest film starring Govinda at the last moment, leaving him in the lurch.
This guy needs to learn that he's just a newcomer in the industry. Keep the tantrums for later, man!
