Emraan Hashmi is all set to star in the much-awaited Tiger 3 as the prime antagonist, who will be locking horns with Salman Khan. Emraan plays a ruthless mercenary, Aatish, whom he describes as the absolute enemy of Tiger. After the trailer release, Emraan gained a massive response to his unusual avatar.
Talking about his character, Emraan said in a statement, “I had an amazing time creating Aatish – a man who is fuelled by rage and will go to any length to finish Tiger. I play a very distinctively different villain that is rare in Hindi cinema. He is cerebral, his mind is his greatest weapon and he also wields immense power over authorities across countries to bring his devious plans into motion.
Emraan Hashmi added, “He single-mindedly wants to destroy Tiger, and his family, and by doing that, he wants to take out the biggest super agent of India. He knows Tiger will always be the last man standing for India and he wants him removed at any cost
Emraan’s character was a great surprise for the fans. He said, “I was dying to tell people about Tiger 3 but couldn’t, knowing very well that the payoff would be immense when my character is unveiled to the people. The decision was clear to bring the anti-hero to the spotlight with the trailer of Tiger 3 and I’m happy that people are loving my menacing turn.
The actor went on to highlight villains often leave a lasting impression on the people. He added, “Anti-heroes are always fun to play because you get to essay someone who doesn’t care a damn about rules.
