A call from buddy Neil Nitin Mukesh informed Aarya Babbar of his next film

As they say that's what friends are for. Aarya Babbar landed a role in Manoj Vatsalya's film courtesy Neil Nitin Mukesh who stars in the political thriller. Aarya, who juggles his Punjabi films with his B-Town assignments, was in for a pleasant surprise when he received a call from Neil that he would be working with him.

Both the actors have known each other for a while now. They worked together in Madhur Bhandarkar's 2009 film Jail and since then they've been very thick.

Says a source, `Neil wanted to break the news to Aarya about them working together again.`


Confirms Aarya, `I got a call from Neil and he told me about the film. At first I thought he was playing a prank on me. Usually it is the makers who approach and finalise an actor. It was the first time that a co-actor was informing me about my role rather than the production house!`

He adds, `But it was good fun to be cast in this manner. I've already started shooting.

It's always good to shoot with friends.`
