First Look: Wheelchair-Bound Neil Nitin Mukesh In Bypass Road

Actor Neil Nitin Mukesh announced the wrap of new film Bypass Road while also posting the first look from it on Tuesday in an Instagram post. The film still shows Neil, who plays the lead, in a wheelchair - no other details were revealed. Bypass Road, a suspense thriller, is Neil Nitin Mukesh's first home production and quite a family affair: brother Naman directs for the very first time and Neil himself serves as writer and producer as well as the star. Actress Adah Sharma co-stars with Neil Nitin Mukesh as the female lead.

In his Instagram post, Neil Nitin Mukesh wrote: "This has to be the best experience in my career till date. Donning three hats, the writer, actor and producer, has been a challenge but a sweet one. Though the film's a wrap, the memories that I have with this journey so far have been extremely emotional and fulfilling." Neil also thanked the cast and extensive crew in his post, singling his brother out for praise: "Naman you make me proud, each working day with you has been a learning experience."
