Oh the things people do for fame! Neil Nitin Mukesh was forced to give up his cellphone while shooting in Coorg for Vishal Bharadwaj’s Saat Khoon Maaf. This sacrifice however, was not out of choice as the area they were in had bad network coverage.
The only person who was pleased with being cut off reach was Vishal as his actors would not be disturbed by phone calls or be busy on the phone.
Little did Vishal realise that his actors would panic since they could not get in touch with their families. Neil, who is very attached to his parents, wasn’t able to do so and could call and tell them he was okay only when they reached Mysore.
Despite the useless phone, Neil took comfort in the fact that he could do his next favourite thing after acting — photography. He made the most of the beautiful Coorg surroundings opportunity by clicking away whenever he was not shooting.
Since he’s now back in a place where he’s connected to all and sundry, Neil has been sharing these Coorg pictures with his fans online.
