"Just wishing myself to work very hard. I've an exciting film releasing this year 'Pream Ratan Dhan Payo'... It's shaping up very well, a lot of work is still left. But, hopefully a Diwali release... so, looking forward to it," said Neil here Thursday.

On being asked to give some more details about the film, Neil said: "I don't want to spill the beans actually. But it's a film that one should look forward to. It is very different from typical Sooraj Barjatya film. It is a family-oriented, family drama film. It is set in a royalty family... It's an opus. So, yes, looking forward to it."

Meanwhile, Neil also praised his co-stars Sonam Kapoor and Salman.

"I've worked with Sonam before in Players. She is a great person, she has evolved as an actor... and I love to see the confidence she has right now. As far as Salman bhai (Salman Khan) is concerned, he is like my elder brother. Words are not enough to praise him. He is a great human being... he is so helpful and very supportive," said Neil

"Prem Ratan Dhan Payo" is scheduled for release at Diwali 2015. It marks the reunion of Salman Khan and Sooraj Barjatya as director after almost 15 years.
