Neil Nitin Mukesh makes SHOCING revelations about the industry, says,' I was told my career was over after…'
Neil Nitin Mukesh makes SHOCING revelations about the industry, says,' I was told my career was over after…' In the glitzy and glamorous world of Bollywood, the career trajectory of an actor depends on many factors. While some feel that it's the actor's luck, others feel it is also bias and favoritism that may make or break an actor's career. The dazzling industry is unfair and doesn't work the same way for everyone. While one actor would keep getting new projects even after delivering back-to-back flops. Another actor may not be given enough chances after failing at the box office once or twice. Actor Neil Nitin Mukesh recently addressed this issue in an interview and spoke about the favoritism that prevails in the industry. Neil Nitin Mukesh is a celebrated actor who made his debut in 2007 with Sriram Raghavan's film Johnny Gaddar. The thriller hit gold at the box office, and Neil, with his strong performance, quickly captivated everyone's attention. Another film that rose him to fame was Kabir Khan's New York. The film also featured John and Katrina Kaif in the lead. Besides this, Neil has also appeared with Salman Khan in Prem Ratan Dhan Payo, which is also critically and commercially acclaimed. However, besides delivering some superhits, he doesn't feel that he has been given the right opportunities that other actors get, even after delivering multiple flops. Recently, in an interview, Neil openly shared that the industry's parameter of judging an actor's success is solely based on box office numbers. However, he is of the view that if an actor is playing a significant role but isn't in the lead, they will often be overshadowed. 'If I'm a part of a successful film, I deserve to be seen as part of that success. But the credit always goes to someone else,' he said. However, he also emphasises the double standards when it comes to films not making numbers at the box office. 'If a film doesn't do well, the blame falls on everyone involved, especially the actors. But when it succeeds, only a select few are celebrated,' he said. Speaking about the superhit success of New York, he emphasised that it wasn't just a John Abraham or Katrina Kaif film, it was a collective effort involving actors like Irrfan Khan and Nawazuddin Siddiqui. Speaking of bias, he also said. 'Many actors give back-to-back flops and still get handed Rs 100 crore films for a comeback. But if two of my films don't work, people tell me to sit at home. They say my career is over. That's not fair,' Neil's remarks on industry reality talk about the harsh truth behind the dazzling world of Bollywood.

Neil, who got his breakthrough with Kabir Khan 's 'New York', admitted that the industry has treated him unfairly.

He pointed out that even playing a pivotal role in a high-profile project doesn't necessarily benefit supporting actors—unless they're already established stars. He shared that if a film flops, everyone involved faces the backlash. He called the trend 'unfair'. Notably, he had a major hit with ' Prem Ratan Dhan Payo ', starring Salman Khan . Neil also shared his thoughts on the team effort behind his early success, 'New York'. The film also starred John Abraham and Katrina Kaif in lead roles.

‘Stars get 11th Rs 100 crore budget film even after 10 flops,' says Neil Nitin Mukesh: ‘We are told your career is over after two flops'
Neil Nitin Mukesh started his career in the movies in 2007 with Sriram Raghavan's Johnny Gaddaar. Shortly after that, Neil appeared in some promising roles, most notably in Kabir Khan's New York, but in many of his interviews, Neil has expressed his displeasure about not being offered the right kind of opportunities. In a recent interview, Neil shared that in the case of many popular actors, they are presented many opportunities despite a dozen flops, but in his case, he was told his 'career is over' after just a couple of his films underperformed at the box office. In a chat on Varinder Chawla's YouTube channel, Neil shared that people in the industry evaluate an actor based on their box office success, and ignore the appreciation that their work gets. He also pointed out that even if an actor plays a significant role in a big budget film that is led by a star, the success of that film doesn't really help them. Neil's biggest success was Salman Khan-starrer Prem Ratan Dhan Payo, directed by Sooraj Barjatya. 'Unfortunately, if you are a part of a big film and you are playing a significant part of that film… consider me a part of that success as well. But you will give the credit to someone else. If this film had flopped then it would be a fall for everyone involved. That's unfair,' he said. Neil Nitin Mukesh shared that one of his early successes, New York, starred John Abraham, Katrina Kaif and himself but the film didn't just belong to the three leads, it was a team effort. 'Like New York, it's not just John or mine or Katrina's film. It just doesn't belong to Kabir Khan, it's a collaborative effort. Everyone has put in hard work. All the actors, Irrfan Khan, Nawazuddin Siddiqui, it belongs to everyone. The producers, their conviction in us, it's a hit for everyone but if it's a flop, or it doesn't reach the numbers, the blame cones straight to the actors,' he said.

'I have seen a lot of big actors giving flops but they keep getting opportunities. But for us, if there are two flops in a row, they say you be at home now. This is the only unfair bit. Didn't he just give 10 flops? You have given him his 11th Rs 100 crore film to make a comeback but here, two films falter and you say career over. What do you mean career is over? Even if the films didn't do well, and you were praised for your work, people are ready to write you off almost instantly and they get pleasure out of this,' he said.
