Young
and
talented
actor
Sidharth
Malhotra,
who
played
a
loverboy
in
his
last
two
releases
Student
of
the
Year
and
Hasee
Toh
Phasee,
says
he
found
it
taxing
and
challenging
to
feature
in
an
intense
role
in
Ek
Villain.
He
reasons
that
he
had
no
reference
to
the
character
in
romantic
thriller
Ek
Villain,
in
which
his
role
is
that
of
a
man
with
grey
shades.
"To
do
an
action-oriented
and
intense
film
right
after
doing
romance
is
far
more
taxing
because
real
life
references
are
not
there," said
Sidharth.
"Neither
am
I
such
a
kind
of
person
in
real
life
nor
do
I
know
somebody
with
such
personality.
So,
in
that
case,
you
have
to
work
much
harder,
do
homework
as
an
actor,
have
to
work
on
your
look
and
this
is
what
I
have
tried
to
do
in
the
film,"
the
actor
asserted.
He
hopes
to
do
a
range
of
films
and
characters
post
Ek
Villain.
"Hopefully
after
Ek
Villain
I
will
get
more
films
where
I
can
do
both
positive
and
negative
characters," added
the
29-year-old,
who
turned
to
acting
after
being
a
successful
model
and
working
as
an
assistant
director.
Directed
by
Mohit
Suri,
Ek
Villain
also
features
Riteish
Deshmukh
and
Shraddha
Kapoor.
It
will
hit
the
theatres
on
June
27th.
