Sriram Raghavan to launch Mukesh's grandson By Subhash K. Jha
Director Sriram Raghavan of 'Ek Haseena Thi' fame is introducing Neil Mathur, grandson of the legendary singer Mukesh, in his next film 'Johnny Gaddaar'.
Neil is aware of the Mukesh mantle that he must carry forward. 'Acting has been a dream for me since I was four. In fact, I did two films as a child. It was acting and not singing that interested me. And my father (singer Nitin Mukesh) always encouraged me. I believe one can be successfully creative in any field of showbiz - acting, direction or singing. For me it is acting,' Neil told IANS.
Sriram's last film 'Ek Haseena Thi' came two years ago. It took him that long to break free of Ram Gopal Varma's fold and discover another area of creative activity.
But now he is directing a film strangely entitled 'Johnny Gaddaar'. What on earth is that? 'It is a caper thriller,' explains Sriram. 'If I had to pick a genre it would have to be in the same line of vision as Tony Scott's 'True Romance' or Joel Coen's 'Blood Simple'. Nearer home I'd say it is like Abbas-Mustan's 'Baazigar'.'
Had forgotten about this report that it's Nitin Mukesh's son.
