Actor Emraan Hashmi, known for his versatility across various genres, recently explained his motivation for taking on the role of a villain. In the third installment of the 'Tiger' franchise, where he faced off against Salman Khan, Emraan played the antagonist.
Expressing his gratitude for the positive reception, Emraan shared, “It is truly special when a film keeps giving you appreciation and respect again and again. This means that a film has made a place for itself in the books of time. It is really amazing to have got so much love playing an anti-hero in Tiger 3.”
He went on to elaborate on his decision to portray a villainous character, stating, “I was sold on the idea to play a villain who is as shrewd and cunning as he is powerful enough to take on an iconic hero like Tiger in a hand-to-hand combat. Aditya Chopra & Maneesh Sharma created a very unique anti-hero archetype for me to play with and make him my own.”
Emraan expressed his joy at the positive reception of 'Tiger 3' both in theaters and now as it streams digitally. He emphasized the audience's love for the film as a testament to its connection with their hearts. 'Tiger 3' features Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif in lead roles and is part of YRF Spy Universe, known for blockbuster films like 'Ek Tha Tiger,' 'Tiger Zinda Hai,' 'War,' 'Pathaan,' and now 'Tiger 3.'
