When it comes to the style quotient, it all comes naturally for Neil Nitin Mukesh. Even when he played a simpleton in Johnny Gaddaar, one couldn’t take eye off from his suave persona. Even in his later films like Players and David, he played a sophisticated personality with ease. Later in Prem Ratan Dhan Payo when he played a prince no less, it all came across naturally to him. No wonder, when Madhur Bhandarkar roped him in to play Late Sanjay Gandhi, he looked every bit a royalty even in the partially bald avtar.

Neil Nitin Mukesh gets suave, sophisticated and dapper yet again as a villain opposite Prabhas in Saaho

No wonder, with him returning as a hardcore baddie in this Friday’s big event release Saaho, all eyes are on how he gets his sophisticated persona orchestrate all things evil in the Prabhas and Shraddha Kapoor starrer.

So far, not much has been revealed about the exact part that Neil Nitin Mukesh plays in the film which is one of the costliest to come out of the Indian film industry. However, if the glimpses of what one has seen in the promo are any indication, he would be yet again seen in a suave and sophisticated avtar even though he is playing a part of the baddie.

"That's the way Neil has always been, be it as a hero or a villain or someone with grey shades," says an insider, "He isn't someone whom you would find even napping in a dishevelled avtar, both on and off the screen. He is a looker, comes with a great personality and moreover has an inherent style quotient to him. You would always see him stylishly dressed and even in the role of a villain, you won't find him screaming or getting loud with his mannerisms. He can be gentle, and yet so menacing. That's the core quotient which he brings in his performances."

No wonder, he did carry an inherent charm even in Prem Ratan Dhan Payo as well as Golmaal Again, even while pitted as a villain against Salman Khan and Ajay Devgn/Parineeti Chopra. Now something similar is set to be seen in Saaho as well where he takes on Prabhas.

"In any case, Saaho is a stylish entertainer with the best of the looks and the wardrobes being reserved for everyone in there," says our source connected to the film, "While Prabhash is already being seen in a look which is quite different from his Baahubali days, Shraddha Kapoor too is in a chic avtar. While that is expected from the leads, look at the other villains in the film. Be it Jackie Shroff, Chunkey Pandey or Mahesh Manjrekar, everyone is in never seen before avtar as they look dapper, sophisticated and suave. How could Neil be far behind?"

Well, come Friday and we would know how far Neil has gone ahead in making sure that as a stylish villain, he is just the right baddie to be taken on by Prabhas.
