Bollywood actor Neil Nitin Mukesh recently demonstrated a masterclass in turning travel frustration into entertainment.

A Musical Response to Travel Woes

The duo, in high spirits, enthusiastically sang the classic Bollywood song 'Hanste Hanste Kat Jaye Raaste' from the film 'Khoon Bhari Maang'. The actor affectionately referred to Bhandarkar as "The OG Jalwa King" in his caption.
He wrote, "Yet again, a delay in our flight, but our love and entertainment never stop," adding the now-signature phrase, "the fun never stops." The post also included a photo of Madhur Bhandarkar, best known for films like 'Satta', 'Fashion', and 'Dil Toh Pagal Hai'.
A Long-Standing Professional Partnership

On the individual work front, Neil Nitin Mukesh was last seen in the 2025 film 'Ek Chatur Naar'. The movie, also starring Divya Khossla, tells the story of an ambitious woman named Mamta who encounters a predatory corporate figure, Abhishek, who exploits innocent people for profit with political connections.
Madhur Bhandarkar's last Hindi directorial ventures were the 2022 films 'Babli Bouncer' and 'India Lockdown'. He subsequently directed the 2023 Marathi thriller film 'Circuitt', showcasing his versatility across Indian cinema.
