New Delhi:
Ek Villain co-stars Sidharth Malhotra and Riteish Deshmukh are coming back with yet another action thriller and their first look will give you goosebumps.
Riteish sticking to his villain image plays a vertically challenged antagonist named Vishnu and his first look with long tresses and a barrel pistol in his right hand suggests it’s a strong character full of evil schemes.
Riteish looks intriguing in the role of Vishnu and director Milap says that the character has been designed after a lot of brainstorming. In his latest interaction with Mumbai Mirror, the director talked in detail about Riteish’s role in Marjaavaan and how the film was shot with a special character like this.
Revealing that he knew Riteish wouldn’t agree to perform a negative role unless it has something different, Milap said, “We decided to make his villain a three-foot-tall but larger-than-life midget with a wicked sense of humour. His Vishnu is arrogant and thinks he is invincible. We storyboarded the screenplay and had a midget gentleman on the set for Riteish to imbibe certain mannerisms and ensure he didn’t go overboard or underplay the physical aspects of his character.”
Sidharth Malhotra's look will remind you of his Ek Villain look. Donning a leather jacket and a headband, the actor armed with a pistol looks vengeful.
Also featuring Tara Sutaria and Kiara Advani in important roles, Marjaavaan has got a new release date. Earlier, it was scheduled to release on October 2.
However, the makers conveniently averted its clash with yet another action thriller War and have decided to shift its release from October to November. Marjaavaan is slated to hit the screens on November 22 now with Ayushman Khurrana's comedy of errors, 'Bala'.
Producer Nikkhil Advani revealed that ‘VFX’ is the reason behind the postponement in its release. “It is important that we give Marjaavaan a suitable release. We’re proud of Milap’s inimitable filmmaking style and unique language that we expect will exceed audience expectations. The film needs this kind of VFX especially with Riteish as a dwarf,” he explained.
