"I am doing David and preparations are on for it. But before that, I am doing a film with Sonal Chauhan..it is called 3G. Its a horror film. It is on the lines of What Lies Beneath and Sixth Sense. It is a psychological horror. I have always gone for character oriented roles," he said.

"My character in 3G is completely layered. It is about a guy who gets possessed and like I said it is a psychological horror so to portray a character like that is rather difficult, it is not about one of those gory faces horror...it is a mind game. So anything with mind is interesting," he said.

Neil feels our industry is way behind Hollywood and that there is a need for futuristic films to be made here as well.

"But when we make futuristic films here they do not do well. I feel cinema is fictitious and larger than life so should make these kind of films and hence I did Aa Dekhen Zaara (a 2009 sci-fi romantic film)," he said.
