Neil Nitin Mukesh on Bollywood: 'Career Over' After Few Flops
Imagine you're an actor in movies.
Sometimes, even if you're really good, if your movies don't make a lot of money, people might think your career is over.
Neil Nitin Mukesh shared this experience, pointing out that some actors get many chances even if their movies flop, but others don't.
He said that even if you do a great job in a movie with a big star, the success isn’t always shared, and you might not get credit.
It is like playing a team sport, but only one player gets all the recognition.
Neil's biggest hit was a movie with Salman Khan, but he feels that success didn't help his career in the same way.
Neil Nitin Mukesh expressed his views on the differing treatment of actors in the film industry.
He stated that he was told his career was over after a couple of films underperformed.
Mukesh started his career in 2007 with 'Johnny Gaddaar'.
He feels the success of a film led by a star doesn't significantly benefit supporting actors.
He believes the industry's focus is often on box office results over other forms of recognition.
