Three film old Neil Nitin Mukesh is fast establishing himself as a very loyal person within the industry circles. While many actors would drop their earlier commitments after their films become a hit, Neil is still fulfilling the films that he had signed on before New York became a hit.
It is a rare occurrence in cutthroat Bollywood, although producers are lining up at his door with bigger, better projects after his last film's success.
However, Neil isn't budging. "He has really set an example for other young stars to follow. Celebrities are always on the lookout for newer and better offers, but Neil seems to be doing just the opposite.
He doesn't want to put his producers in jeopardy by taking up new films. It is said that he has been offered lucrative sums of money but it has not lured the actor, " says an industry insider.
"It's true, Neil has been getting many offers after the release of New York but he would much rather fulfil his earlier commitments than move on to a new one, " his manager states.
