Is this Bollywood A-lister the villain of Hrithik Roshan's 'Krrish 4'?
The highly successful superhero franchise had last cast Vivek Oberoi as the primary antagonist.
Mumbai: 'Krrish 3' was critically panned but was a humongous success at the box-office. The film further helped cement the franchise as India's flagship superhero affair.
Rakesh-Roshan and Hrithik Roshan's brainchild is all set to commence its fourth instalment and hype is through the roof. The third film had cast Vivek Oberoi as its primary antagonist, alongside Kangana Ranaut.
And actor filmmaker Rakesh Roshan is on the lookout for a Bollywood A-lister, to lock horns with his son. If the latest rumours are to be believed, the actor has zeroed down on one of the best actors in the country today.
It's none other than Nawazuddin Siddiqui!
The actor, who will nest be seen in 'Monsoon Shootout,' has previously played antagonist to Salman Khan in 'Kick' and (Spoiler Alert!) Ranbir Kapoor in 'Jagga Jasoos'.
With his impeccable acting chops, Rakesh is sure he can do ample justice to the character.
“Rakesh Roshan, son Hrithik and the whole Krrish team wanted an actor with fantastic acting capabilities and who is better than Nawazuddin for this part. He has shown his action-packed, no nonsense, grey side in several films and the team felt he would be perfect for the role. Nawaz is keen on the film too, but he is yet to sign on the dotted line," India(dot)com quoted a source as saying.
Well, if the rumours are too, that would be one on-screen battle to look forward to!
