After scoring a role with shades of grey in a Salman Khan starrer, Neil Nitin Mukesh plays baddie in Wazir.

Neil Nitin Mukesh, whose career headed southwards after a hattrick of flops seems to be slowly coming back in the game. After Salman Khan got him a role in Prem Rathan Dhan Payo, it is his David director Bejoy Nambiar, who's given him a part in his upcoming drama, the Amitabh Bachchan-Farhan Akhtar starrer Wazir.

A source close to the development told Mirror that Neil will be seen in a pivotal role in Wazir. Said the source: "The actor will play a negative role in the movie. It will be credited as a special appearance. It was Bejoy's idea to get the Johnny Gaddar actor on board. Since they've worked with each other on David, they share a comfortable equation. When Bejoy narrated the details, Neil instantly agreed to do the film and has already shot for his portions."

The film is currently in the postproduction stage. Added the source, "The second teaser of the film will be unveiled with Dil Dhadakne Do. Although a release date is not final, it is likely to open in winter this year."
