After
starring
in
a
host
of
multi-starrers
like
Saroja,
Goa
and
Mankatha,
actor
Vaibhav
Reddy,
who
will
soon
be
seen
in
a
lead
role
in
Tamil
dark
comedy
Damaal
Dumeel,
says
he's
willing
to
take
up
negative
characters
provided
there's
a
scope
for
performing.
"I
don't
mind
doing
any
performance-oriented
role.
It
could
also
be
a
villain's
role.
I'm
keen
to
do
different
films
and
roles
instead
of
doing
the
regular
commercial
ones.
That's
why
I've
become
choosy
and
I
have
been
avoiding
many
films," Vaibhav
told
IANS.
Even
as
a
villain,
he
doesn't
want
to
play
stereotypical
roles.
"A
villain's
role
should
be
a
la
Heath
Ledger
in
Dark
Knight.
Although
he
played
the
villain,
he
had
a
great
scope
for
performance.
I
would
love
to
do
such
roles,"
he
said.
"I
was
really
happy
to
be
part
of
Sekhar
Kammula's
film.
I
don't
play
the
lead
in
that
film,
but
my
characters
gave
me
a
lot
of
scope
for
performance.
These
are
the
kind
of
films
I
would
love
to
be
associated
with,"
Vaibhav
added.
He
is
playing
an
important
role
in
Kammula's
Anamika,
the
southern
remake
of
Kahaani.
Damaal
Dumeel
marks
Vaibhav's
debut
as
solo
lead
in
Tamil.
He
waited
nearly
six
years
for
it.
"I've
been
a
little
careless
over
the
last
few
years.
I've
been
playful
and
missed
some
opportunities.
They
say
only
when
you
get
hurt,
you
will
learn
from
mistakes.
That
happened
with
me,
and
since
then,
I
have
been
grabbing
opportunities
coming
my
way,"
he
said.
He
plays
a
techie
in
Damaal
Dumeel,
which
he
says
is
an
important
film
in
his
career.
"This
is
my
debut
solo
lead
in
Tamil.
I'm
extremely
happy
about
it.
It's
a
story
about
a
techie
who
gets
embroiled
in
unwanted
problems.
This
film
is
important
because
for
the
first
time
I
will
be
shouldering
a
film
all
by
myself,"
said
Vaibhav.
