Actor
Darshan
Kumar,
who
was
incredibly
convincing
as
Priyanka
Chopra's
too-good-to-be-true
husband
in
Mary
Kom,
is
now
going
for
the
kill.
In
his
second
film
NH10,
he
is
cast
in
a
completely
antithetical
role
of
a
despicable
criminal
who
torments
and
brutalizes
the
heroine
Anushka
Sharma.
"No
two
roles
can
be
more
dissimilar.
If
women
loved
me
in
'
Mary
Kom'
and
thought
of
me
as
the
ideal
husband,
in
'
NH10',
I
play
the
kind
of
man
who
is
every
woman's
nightmare," Darshan
said.
Apparently,
there
are
scenes
where
Darshan,
who
was
the
epitome
of
chivalry
in
Mary
Kom,
brutalizes
Anushka's
character
to
the
extent
that
the
actor
cringed
while
performing
the
scenes.
Remembering
the
ordeal
of
entering
the
other
world
of
diabolic
machismo,
he
said,
"It
wasn't
easy.
I
had
to
completely
change
my
attitude
to
women.
I
had
to
convert
my
mindset
from
that
of
a
considerate
compassionate
man
to
a
man-monster."
Of
late,
disappointment
was
the
mood
that
clouded
Darshan's
mind
as
he
didn't
get
a
single
Best
Debutant
award
at
the
popular
awards
this
year.
"I
was
nominated
at
all
the
awards.
But
most
of
them
went
to
Tiger
Shroff.
I
can't
deny
I
was
disappointed.
But
my
ultimate
praise
came
to
me
from
my
guru
Naseeruddin
Shah
who
said
he
loved
me
in
Mary
Kom.
Naseer
Saab
is
not
one
to
shower
empty
praise
on
anyone.
So
to
me
Naseer
Saab's
praise
was
the
biggest
award," he
said.
