I am deeply satisfied with what I have done,” starts off Arjun Rampal, as he sits down to talk all things Dhaakad. The actor plays the sinister Rudraveer, the antagonist to Kangana Ranaut’s Agent Agni in Razneesh Ghai’s directorial venture. To Rampal, the spy thriller is the beginning of a conscious shift he is making with regard to projects. He explains, “I liked the director’s vibe. The friendship is key to making the film better than we had envisioned. The movie gets so much right — from the brilliant camera work to the styling, and the scale of action. Another important reason for me [to say yes] was that it’s a female-led film. We have seen men do action all the time. But have we ever seen a woman do it? A female star is never given this kind of opportunity.”
