Suniel Shetty to play the main antagonist in Rajinikanth’s Darbar

He added, “Suniel Shetty will be playing the lead antagonist opposite Rajinikanth in Darbar, and will start shoot next month in Mumbai. And then the film will pick up its momentum.”

Giving more details about Suniel’s role, the source said, “Anna is going to play Prateik Babbar’s father’s role in the movie. He will be seen in the avatar of a corporate honcho, a successful and stylish businessman. The movie is going to be a typical Rajinikanth film filled with action, so Suniel sir’s energy will also be very different, and you will see some interesting action sequences between Thalaivar and Anna.”
