Embracing the ‘dark’ side! It’s horror thriller for Octavia Spencer next
says he is happy to carve a niche in negative roles On the fringes...
eil Nitin Mukesh, who played a negative role in Rohit Shetty’s Golmaal Again, says he is glad about carving a niche for himself in the negative zone. Neil, despite his chocolate boy looks, mostly features in negative characters in movie. Talking about this inclination, Neil said,“I did negative roles from the beginning of my career. Be it in Johnny Gaddaar, Saat Khoon
Maaf, David... I don’t look at roles as positive or negative. I just see that whether that character will create impact on screen or not, irrespective of screen time of that character. So it doesn’t make difference to me. As an actor, I feel you need to have conviction when you go out there. At least, I am glad that in the aspect of negative roles, I have carved niche for myself.”
Neil also spoke about his upcoming film Saaho, a multi-lingual film starring Prabhas and Shraddha Kapoor. Neil once again plays a negative character.“Saaho is shaping up really well. We are now preparing for action sequences of Saaho. Sujeeth is very good. He is only 26 years old but is a brilliant director. I gained weight for
Saaho, but now I have to reduce that. I am finding it a bit difficult. But I think that transformation will be fun,” he said.

While plot details are being kept under wraps, Ma is described as a psychological thriller.“It’s dark material, but it’s also really fun. Octavia is so damn likable that we usually see her in certain roles,”Taylor said. “But she’s such a good actress and this is such a complex character that if I do my job right, people in the audience are going to want to push pause and say,‘Can we please take you out for coffee so you don’t do what you’re about to do.’” he added.
