In his career spanning for almost 2 decades, Hrithik Roshan has never played the bad guy! But the Super 30 actor is soon to make his debut as Bollywood’s next baddie with Siddharth Anand’s WAR alongside Tiger Shroff!

Speaking about portraying Hrithik Roshan in this never seen before avatar; director Siddharth was quoted by Asian Age saying, “I think people will initially be a little surprised, but they will ease into the fact that he is playing the antagonist. Also, I feel it’s a new experience to the audience he has got the good boy image and his eyes have a lot of goodness in them.”

He further added, “He is a hero, so to actually move away from that and make him play the bad guy was challenging because it is very unassuming of him to do that. The way he has played it, he has still retained the heroism but brought in meanness with his eyes. I am sure people will enjoy that also.”
