Why Sudhir chose Neil over Shiney for 'Tera Kya Hoga Johny'

One would have expected that after forging a strong partnership with Shiney Ahuja in films like 'Hazaron Khwaishen Aisi' and 'Khoya Khoya Chand', film maker Sudhir Mishra would have repeated him for 'Tera Kya Hoga Johny' as well. Pray why didn't he do so, especially when this film is an ensemble affair with place for Neil Nitin Mukesh and Kay Kay Menon amongst half a dozen other talented actors?

See, you cast people according to parts, reasons Mishra, Of course I would want to work with Shiney again but provided I have a role for him. Neil has this brooding intensity coupled with vulnerability, a unique combination indeed, which makes him stand apart from the crowd. As for Kay Kay, he is there in the film because he is a brilliant actor and suited the part he was roped in for. He is amazing and so is Soha Ali Khan who I believe is a very fine actress.

I have worked with her in 'Khoya Khoya Chand' as well. She is someone who has a lot more to offer and it is up to the makers how they bring to fore her true potential. Shahana Goswami is outstanding as well and so is Saurabh Shukla, says Mishra fondly about his actors.

Also starring Karan Nath, Vijay Maurya, Virendra Saxena and Makrand Deshpande, 'Tera Kya Ho Gaya Johny' releases all over on 17th December.
