Neil Nitin Mukesh Poses Nude & Gets Bashed Up in 'Jail'



For a film industry that usually doesn't even show couples kissing on screen and has women still turn away shyly from the men that they're supposedly marrying, nudity is a big deal. Well hold on to your hats because Bollywood is about to get a big dose of full frontal nudity if Neil Nitin Mukesh and Madhur Bhandarkar have something to say about it.

Neil Nitin Mukesh's film career has been pretty shaky for quite some time now. That's why it's not
really surprising that he would go to great lengths to prove himself as an actor. Well for the new movie
'Jail,' he will be posing nude to not only prove his acting ability, but to hopefully turn his career around.
He wasn't shy in admitting the truth, "Yes, I shot for the nude scene but it has been done aesthetically.
Everyone knows Madhur's style of working. His films are realistic and he makes a lot of effort to get all
the nuances right. In this sequence, I am in the jail and I am asked to strip. I was a little apprehensive,
but Madhur handled it perfectly. My character in the film goes to the prison and what happens to him
is extremely humiliating. I think this sequence is one of the most beautifully shot sequences in the film
and it will shock people."

Bring on the shock Neil! Madhur Bhandarkar added, "I don't want to reveal anything at this point in
time. Yes, it is an important sequence in the film and it was not easy as you rarely see a man stripping
in a film. I also had to take care that the scene does not leave a bad taste in the viewers' mouth and
that they don't find it vulgar. But it was also extremely important to show the torture that people
undergo in jails. I worked out the scene's details with my writers and explained the entire scene to
Neil. Once he was okay with it, we just went ahead and shot the scene. One thing I kept in mind was
that I had to shoot the scene keeping the Indian audience parameters in mind. And that's what I have
done."

So we want to know what our readers think about Neil Nitin Mukesh and Madhur Bhandarkar shooting
a nude scene for the upcoming film 'Jail.' Do you think it'll be tasteful and be useful in conveying the
message of the movie? Or do you think this is too much for the Indian film industry and that it may get
shot down before 'Jail' even sees the light of day? Give us your thoughts!

Actors have to endure a lot when they're filming a movie and sometimes they get injured. Well this time it was poor Neil Nitin Mukesh who suffered during a scene.

Go figure, it occurred during a torture scene for the new Madhur Bhandharkar film titled 'Jail.' Neil Nitin Mukesh was reportedly a little bashed up by one of his co-stars. He told sources about what exactly went down

"It was a scene in which I was tied up for interrogation and my co-actor Vicky-he's a great person who gets into the skin of his character-thought that he would make the interrogation look as real as possible. He started hitting me very hard and it really took me by surprise. I was shocked...People thought that I was fine while receiving the blows and so Madhur did not say cut. It was a scene of intense physical assault and I was bashed up completely by him. The first slap was right on my ear and till now I could feel my ear buzzing. I was hoping that there was no damage. My head came under some really tight blows and my hair was pulled so hard that I cried out in pain. But I have no grudge against him as he did not intend to hurt me. The scene, however, looks brilliant and I'm hoping my ear is fine too."

Madhur Bhandharkar expressed his concern by saying "Neil's body came under heavy beating during the scene. There was injury but he is fine now. We were really scared but when he was going through the scene we all thought that he was fine. I'm really thankful that nothing major has happened." So are we! We hope Neil Nitin Mukesh has a full recovery.
