Actor Neil Nitin Mukesh is prepared to
take on more challenging roles in the future after receiving positive
reactions from his fans and the film fraternity for his role in "Indu
Sarkar".
Neil essays 'Chief' in the Madhur Bhandarkar directorial, which
released on Friday. His look is inspired by late Prime Minister Indira
Gandhi's younger son Sanjay Gandhi.
"On the sets of 'Golmaal Again'. Wanted to take a minute to thank you
all for all the appreciation, love and respect you all have shown for
'Indu Sarkar'. It's extremely encouraging for an actor when his
audience reacts so positively," Neil tweeted on Sunday.
"'Indu Sarkar' has been my most daring role yet," said Neil, who has
earlier featured in films like "Johnny Gaddaar", "New York", "Wazir"
and "Jail".
"With this you have instilled the faith in me that I should forge ahead
and take up even bigger challenges as an actor. I am ready," he added.
"Indu Sarkar" is political thriller film, set in the Emergency period
of 1975-1977 in India.
Starring Kirti Kulhari, Tota Roy Chowdhary, Supriya Vinod and Anupam
Kher in pivotal roles, "Indu Sarkar" was mired in controversy with the
censor board initially suggesting 12 cuts and two disclaimers. The
revising committee ultimately settled for two cuts and one disclaimer
and a few beeps.
"Indu Sarkar" was released after the Supreme Court granted it clearance
on Thursday, dismissing a plea filed by a woman claiming to be the
biological daughter of Sanjay Gandhi.
The film has released to mixed reviews, and has not registered
impressive box office collections.
