Salman, who plays a no-frills cop in Antim, discusses how he fleshed out the character that had five scenes in original Marathi film

A still from the film
A Salman Khan big-screen release is no less than a festival for his fans. The sentiment is all the more pronounced this time since his last offering, Radhe: Your Most Wanted Bhai, was a hybrid release. As he sits down to discuss Antim: The Final Truth, the superstar points out that director Mahesh Manjrekar has etched out his character as a no-frills cop. Those looking for the gregariousness or swagger associated with their favourite hero might be in for a surprise.
“I cannot play this character like [I did in] Dabangg, else it will look like Dabangg 4. This is a different [world] altogether,” begins Khan. “My character here takes orders and is humiliated, but he does what he needs to do. That’s what I liked about him. In the original Marathi film [Mulshi Pattern], the character had four or five scenes. I took that [track], and developed that character. I made a different film with that. I am a writer’s son, so I only look at the plot. This is [different from] the Marathi film I had seen.”
