Naseeruddin Shah will be seen playing a negative role in the film Jackpot
Highlights
- Veteran actor Naseeruddin Shah says he loves to play the evil guy in films as he feels that characters with a nicer streak can be very boring to portray on screen.
- In new film Jackpot, the actor plays an evil character -- and he admits that it is "the kind of character I love to do".
- "I personally love my performances in Bombay Boys and Mirch Masala. It's fun to play such characters. It's very boring to play the nice guy and I only like to play that role in real life," the 63-year-old said.
- Jackpot also stars Sachiin Joshi and Indo-Canadian adult star-turned-actress Sunny Leone in the lead. They are still new to the industry, and Naseeruddin says working with new actors has never been an issue with him.
- "It's not a new thing for me to work with newcomers. If I have done 250 films in my career, then 150 have been with new directors and as an actor, I was also new once. So I have no issues working with new actors. Both Sachiin and Sunny are professionals and devoted," he said.
- Naseeruddin is currently also busy wrapping up Dedh Ishqiya where he carries forward his character Khalu Jaan from his 2010 hit Ishqiya, which also saw him in a grey character.
