The worst way to approach a negative character is to play it like one, says actor Emraan Hashmi, who decided to portray his "Tiger 3" character like an "anti-hero". Hashmi said he saw his character of Aatish Rehman, an ex-ISI agent, as someone whose ideology does not match with the viewpoint of the protagonist, played by Salman Khan in the film. "You have to tap into the darker side, but eventually the dynamics are the same. You have to be clear about the vision of the director. You bring in your own ideas for the character`s journey, the nuances and body language, and finally play him like the hero of his own narrative. Don`t play it like a villain because that`s the worst way to approach the antagonist as then it becomes unidimensional," Hashmi told PTI in an interview.
"More than a villain, he is an anti-hero, his ideology is different from the viewpoint of the protagonist. He is the hero of his own narrative... So, I had to play it from that perspective and not make him into a typical villain," he added. Hashmi has played negative roles of varying shades in films such as "Murder", "Gangster", "Once Upon a Time in Mumbaai" and "Chehre" in the past. For "Tiger 3", he said the film`s team experimented with ten distinct looks. But they chose to not depict him as a stylish adversary. "This was not pre-decided that he is going to look this way, the salt-and-pepper hair. We felt he is not someone who cares about his look. He is not a manicured villain. I decided that he will be cool, sleek, (will wear) a Ray-Ban (glasses), leather jacket kind of guy, because he is also a spy"". Released on November 12, "Tiger 3" has collected Rs 220.25 crore nett in India in seven days.
