Emraan Hashmi is gearing up to feature as the main villain in the highly-anticipated film Tiger 3, where he will be facing off against Salman Khan. Emraan portrays a heartless mercenary named Aatish, who he refers to as Tiger’s ultimate adversary. Following the trailer’s launch, Emraan received a tremendous reaction to his unique appearance.
Recently, Emraan talked about his character in a statement and said, “I had an amazing time creating Aatish – a man who is fuelled by rage and will go to any length to finish Tiger. I play a very distinctively different villain that is rare in Hindi cinema. He is cerebral, his mind is his greatest weapon and he also wields immense power over authorities across countries to bring his devious plans into motion.”
He further added, “He single-mindedly wants to destroy Tiger, his family and by doing that, he wants to take out the biggest super agent of India. He knows Tiger will always be the last man standing for India and he wants him removed at any cost.”
He said, “I was dying to tell people about Tiger 3 but couldn’t, knowing very well that the payoff would be immense when my character is unveiled to the people. The decision was clear to bring the anti-hero to the spotlight with the trailer of Tiger 3 and I’m happy that people are loving my menacing turn.”
The actor emphasised that villains have a tendency to make a lasting impact on individuals. He further explained that it is enjoyable to portray anti-heroes as they do not abide by rules and instead make their own. Therefore, he eagerly accepted the chance to create a villainous character that would hopefully be remembered for a significant amount of time.
Concluding the statement, he said, “I’m thankful to Maneesh Sharma for being a guide to bring Aatish to life. It was his vision for the character that I was sold on. He helped me craft a character that I’m immensely proud of.”
Directed by Maneesh Sharma, Tiger 3 reunites Salman and Katrina Kaif on screen. The movie is scheduled to be released on November 12.
