"I have been an ardent fan of Rohit's depiction of comedy and this is a genre I was always keen to explore. 'Golmaal Again' will be my debut attempt at comedy meets intense as a genre which is extremely challenging to essay because you have to be comical and intense at the same time," Neil said in a statement.
About his character, the actor said: "My character in the film is very layered and it beautifully lends to the overall plot. It's always very exhilarating to be a part of an ensemble cast of this stature. I play a sophisticated corporate tycoon. I will commence shooting for the film post my nuptials."
Neil will get married to Rukmini Sahay in Udaipur with celebrations held between February 7-9.
"Golmaal Again" also stars Ajay Devgn, Parineeti Chopra, Arshad Warsi, Tusshar Kapoor, Kunal Khemu and Shreyas Talpade.
On the work front, Neil will also be seen in Madhur Bhandarkar's "Indu Sarkar" and a multi-lingual film opposite Prabhas.
