Panaji (Goa), November 26 (ANI): Actor Neil Nitin Mukesh, who is often known for doing positive roles in Bollywood, has taken on a new challenge as the antagonist Mickey Mehta in 'Hisaab Barabar', which premiered at the International Film Festival of India (IFFI) on Tuesday. Directed by Ashwni Dhir, the movie revolves around corruption and systemic injustice, with a gripping story about a common man's fight against financial fraud.Neil shared his thoughts on playing negative roles and how he balances his performances between positive and dark characters. Speaking to ANI, the actor said, "I enjoy both positive and negative characters equally. I try to balance them as much as possible. Some films, like 'Players', had a very dark, edgy negative role for me. Sometimes, the character finds themselves in unavoidable situations, like in 'Johnny Gaddar', where despite not wanting to, the character does something wrong. And then there are characters like 'Mickey Mehta', who exist in society and believe that money is power, and power is everything."
