Emraan Hashmi On Playing A Villain In 'Tiger 3': The Makers Created A Very Unique Anti-Hero Archetype

Emraan was pitted against Salman Khan in the third installment of the ‘Tiger’ franchise, which is now streaming digitally.

New Delhi: Actor Emraan Hashmi, who has dabbled in almost all genres and essayed a myriad of characters, has finally explained the reason as to why he wanted to play a villain.

Emraan was pitted against Salman Khan in the third installment of the ‘Tiger’ franchise, which is now streaming digitally.

Emraan said: “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 added: “I was sold on the idea to play a villain who as much 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.”
