Riteish Deshmukh Reveals Why He Is Villain In Ek Villain

Actor Riteish Deshmukh who is all set to play a villainous role in the upcoming film Ek Villain, says that he will be a villain in the film with a love back ground.

Riteish for the first time will portray the role of a villain in Ek Villain and says that unlike other films, here the villain will have a reason to become villain.

"Since childhood I have been a fan of iconic villains like Gabbar and Mogembo but these characters did not have any reason to be villain. But in Ek Villain I have a reason to become villain and the reason is love," said Riteish.

He further added, "Sidharth also appears to be a kind of villain in the film but he has a positive wipe about his role and I will be a villain with grey shades."

In the film Ek Villain, Riteish will be seen in a totally different avatar and he is very excited to see how the audience responds to his new character.

The movie Ek Villain featuring Riteish Deshmukh, Sidharth Malhotra and Shraddha Kapoor is scheduled to release on June 27th.
