Mukesh wants to be meaner than Norton

Neil Nitin Mukesh has revealed that he can't wait to play the baddie in the Indian version of The Italian Job.

The actor has also promised to be 100 times meaner than his Hollywood counterpart Edward Norton in the Bollywood remake.

"The Indian character would have a far greater depth. The Hindi remake will retain the fun and thrills but we saw only one side of Ed Norton in the original. However, my character is 100 times meaner than him," Mukesh told Mid Day.

The 2003 Hollywood movie, directed by F. Gary Gray, saw Norton play the same role as Mukesh.

The Bollywood version is helmed by duo Abbas-Mustan and features an all-star cast including Amitabh Bachchan.
