Neil Nitin Mukesh grandson of legendery singer Mukesh has already proved himself as a fine actor with his brilliant performance in his debut movie Johnny Gaddaar. And now he is going to exercise his vocal chords and will be singing for his upcoming movie Freeze. An excited Neil said, “I wouldn’t call myself an extremely accomplished singer. But yes, I am much more than a bathroom singer. I carry my notes well. But having grown up on my grandfather’s songs and watched my dad struggling to get out of the ‘Mukesh’ shadow, I was scared to try my hand at singing as a fulltime career.” Neil also revealed his long time connection with singing,” As a child did accompany my dad on his world tours and even sang on stage. But I never sang my grandpa’s songs as I preferred Kishore Kumar. I didn’t intend to sing professionally. But it seems God and the film industry have other plans for me,” says the dashing hunk. Neil Nitin stars alongside Sophie Choudhary in Jehangir Suri’s thriller Freeze. Pritam is composing the songs for the movie and is delighted to have Neil to sing his song, “Neil will be singing the film’s theme song. It’ll be somewhat like the James Bond theme because that’s the mood of Freeze. I’ve always been a Mukesh bhakt. I couldn’t compose for him. But it’s such an honor to compose for his grandson. I’ll listen carefully to the texture of Neil’s voice and then compose accordingly. But since he’s the grandson of Mukesh and the son of Nitin Mukesh I’m sure he sings well. Also, being a good actor, Neil will have no problem in expressing the emotions in the lyrics. I’m quite kicked to have an actor singing for me. Unlike other actors-turned-singers, Neil won’t be just a glamorous factor in the soundtrack.
