 From now onwards Neil Nithin Mukesh will value the absolute freedom that he like any other citizen of the country get and enjoys.
Visiting the Thane jail and seeing the prisoners life has made him realise the state of mind of several men who cannot see the outside world.
The B-Town star says “It was the most life changing day of my life. So much of what we take for granted seemed so vital and unreachable in there and I came across faces and voices in there which I will never forget”.
Neil had gone on for a five hour visit to the Jail as per the instructions of Madhur Bhandarkar, the director of his film ‘Jail’.
Now when the shooting of the movie starts Neil will be able to get inside the skin of the character that he is going to play really well as now he has become well acquainted with the atmosphere of a Jail and has also talked with several inmates.
Neil says “It is hard to believe some of these inmates are considered dangerous, more to themselves than people from outside. We were not allowed to take belts, coins or any hard objects because any of this could be used by prisoners as harmful weapons”.
He also adds “These are people who have built a universe within the prison. They cook, they do carpentry, make beautiful meals and artifacts. They pray, study and even watch films. We sat and ate their food. And I must say it was very good”.
