He added that he does not plan to play negative characters anymore. “To an extent, I’ve taken retirement from playing villains. I’m planning to try something new now let’s see whether people would like it. I have tried experimenting before also. I have tried to do different in films like Hunterr and people did actually quite like it so I’m going into a new direction now.”
