Working with vishal bharadwaj was great. It definitely was a dream come true for me to get a chance to work with vishal sir ! He truly is a genius. This film has taught me a lot. I'm looking forward to its release. There were many aspects of the film that I can share with u. But will do that tomor ! '
Neil sports a moustache and will be seen in a narrow fedora and neat suits.
