Neil takes technology to a whole new level
Posted on June 25th, 2008 by tigger under Bipasha Basu, Neil Nitin MukeshShould I even bother making an excuse for yesterday’s absence? Ah whatever, I was just feeling lazy and that’s the complete and utter truth.
Neil Nitin Mukesh’s next movie is with Bipasha Basu and involves a camera that can see into the future. So it’s kinda like that camera in the original The Omen movie, and Bollywood is taking that idea and using it in its own way. Ok, he didn’t say that, I’m just talking crap, about the Omen rip-off I mean, the movie really does have a supernatural camera.
Neil says,
“We’ve had movies about people who could see in the future. But none where the the whole concept of the ‘camera can’t lie’ has been used in such an unexpected way.”
“To me the most interesting part of the film was the fact that though it’s a film about supernatural powers and how they can destroy or build your life, there aren’t that many overt F-X in the film. We’ve used the supernatural element in a very thrilling way.”
Since Freeze is an action movie, Neil had to do a lot of stunts, which wasn’t always conducted safely and like the naughty boy that jumped off the tree a few too many times, his father has punished him by grounding him…kinda.
“I never told my parents about it. If I had my father would’ve caught the first flight to Bangkok. He freaked out when he heard about it. Now I’m not allowed to do any action scenes, dangerous or otherwise,”
“Luckily, the new Yashraj film with Kabir Khan that I’m starting this week has no stunts.”
Cute huh? But I have a bad feeling about this movie…not that the concept sound bad but I have a personal theory that movies that have a one word English name don’t do that well in the box office, eg Style, Race, Welcome, Speed, Cash. What you think?

Well, I haven’t seen paycheck, so I’m going to go with The Omen. Maybe Neil’s camera will predict other things besides death.
