Friday, 4th April 2014, 05:00 PM IST Ronit Roy will be playing a ferocious and despicable villain in Subhash Kapoor’s ‘Guddu Rangeela’. His character in the film will be fiercer than what he played in Akshay Kumar’s ‘Boss’. Speaking about the character he says, “He is a far more powerful villain than the one I played in 'Boss'. He is much larger, much more powerful.”
He plays the head of a Khaap Panchayat and had to build a lot of muscle to fit into the role. “There is a lot of preparation required since I play a head of the Khaap Panchayat. I've tried to understand why he behaves the way he does. I like to create a back history even for villainous characters. In 'Boss' I built this past history for my character where as a child he might have burnt his parents alive because they deprived him of a particular toy.”
Apart from his physique, Ronit is also working on his accent since the character he plays is a Haryanvi. Interestingly, he doesn’t think the Khaap Panchayat is evil, “If you examine their rationale they are not all trouble makers. They do a lot of good things for the society. In their minds they are the upholder of traditions.”
Ronit says he doesn’t mind playing a villainous role as long as it’s extraordinary. "In Vikramaditya Motwane's ‘Udaan’ the father seemed like a drunken brute. But he had his own reason for behaving the way he did with his son. He wanted to make something out of his life. Sometimes people who appear overly aggressive are actually trying to do the right thing," says Ronit. |
