Several months and multiple auditions later, it seems Sooraj Barjatya has finally found the perfect guy to play Salman Khan’s younger brother in his upcoming film, tentatively titled ‘Prem Ratan Dhan Payo’. As per the latest buzz, actor Neil Nitin Mukesh will star in Sooraj Barjatya’s next alongside Sallu miyaan and Sonam Kapoor. Apparently, the actor has been roped in to play Khan’s younger brother. Earlier, Vidyut Jamwal was approached for this role but we hear he turned down the offer coz the character has grey shades. What’s interesting is that Neil will be playing Salman’s step brother.
Added a source close to the film’s production, “The makers have had lengthy discussions with Neil, who has consented to Sooraj in principle. But, he is yet to sign on the dotted line. That should happen in the next few weeks as Neil is really kicked about the film. Bagging a Sooraj Barjatya film could revive his career which hasn’t been in great shape lately following a series of duds.”
They last worked together in the 1999 blockbuster Hum Saath Saath Hain. The superstar is looking forward to playing Prem again. Also starring Anupam Kher and Deepak Dobriyal, Bade Bhaiya will see Salman reuniting with his beloved Barjatyas after almost fifteen years. Well, if Neil seals the deal then we thinks this film could certainly change the game for him in Bollywood. But standing out in a film which stars the Salman Khan isn’t easy on the other hand. So it would be interesting to see if Neil manages to stand out or not.
