Actor Neil Nitin Mukesh says essaying role of a paraplegic in Bypass Road has turned out to be challenging. Paraplegic is paralysis that affects all or part of the torso, legs and pelvic organs. "It's been a challenging role because firstly the film is a thriller plus my character is that of a paraplegic," Neil said in a statement.

"There has been a major physical transformation as well because I was in great shape for Saaho but for this role I had to gain weight. A man who is wheelchair bound can't have six packs, we had to make it look realistic," he added. Bypass Road marks the directorial debut of Neil's younger brother Naman Nitin Mukesh. It also stars Adah Sharma, Gul Panag and Rajit Kapur. The film is a thriller drama, which is jointly produced by NNM Films and Madan Paliwal of MIRAJ.
