First Look: Sidharth Malhotra, Shraddha Kapoor steam up ‘The Villian’

The actor had said, “For Villain, I had to experiment with my look. I have a slightly different hairstyle. I sport a beard as well as tattoos, and had to even bulk up a little. As my character is aggressive and intense, hopefully, the audience will see me in a different light. The character has a lot of emotional baggage. You’ll see the difference between the sweet lover boy I’ve played earlier, and this aggressive man.”

Talking about the film, Sidharth had said that ‘The Villain’ is a love story but with a slight twist. Sidharth Malhotra states, “Essentially, it’s about how everyone has a little villainous side in their personality. Shraddha (Kapoor) and I are playing these interesting characters, which people will relate to. It also has a middle-class backdrop.”

The first look loosely reminds you of the passionate poster of Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s ‘Ram-Leela’ featuring Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone.

The film, which is directed by ‘Aashiqui 2’ director Mohit Suri, also stars Riteish Deshmukh, Amrita Puri and Kamaal Rashid Khan. The film is all set to release on June 27.
