Sanjay Dutt is currently enjoying the phase of being Khal Nayak in South films. After playing menacing Adheera in KGF Chapter 2, Sanjay was seen playing a cool baddie in Thalapathy VIjay's Leo. Soon, Sanjay will play an antagonist in Ram Pothineni-starrer Double iSmart.
The upcoming movie is directed by Puri Jagannadh, and recently the team was seen promoting the film at a grand song launch event in Mumbai. After the launch, Sanjay interacted with the media and shared his fascination with playing villains in the South. “I think it’s a challenge for me to do a South Indian film, and playing a villain is a great space to explore.
You get to do a lot—there’s action, intensity, and depth. You get to beat people up, and you get beaten up too. It’s exciting!” The Agneepath actor then humorously added, “Rape katt gaya hai lekin woh.
.. (Of course, certain things like rape scenes are no longer allowed, which is a good thing.
But overall, these roles offer an actor a lot to work with, especially after doing so many films).” From past many years, Sanjay has been part of several action entertainers. When asked if he would like to do a romantic drama, he said, "Yes, I’d love to do a romantic film again if the right project comes along.
But our generation has always catered to the mass audience. We’re ‘massy’ heroes. I did Saajan back in the day, which was a great film with beautiful songs.
So yeah, if a good romantic script comes my way, I’d be interested.” Sha.
