Neil Nitin Mukesh has always loved to portray dark, brooding characters in his films.

He now takes it a step further.

In Sooraj Barjatya's upcoming film Prem Ratan Dhan Payo his character is that of a baddie while in AR Murugadoss' Tamil film, he plays the main villain.

After duds like David and 3G, Neil seems to be looking anew as the new bad guy on screen.
