Hyderabad: Filmmaker Anurag Kashyap is known for his political perspectives. The Gangs of Wasseypur helmer has always been quite vocal about his opinions on the government, social issues, and the ongoings in the film industry. While promoting his upcoming acting project Bad Cop, Kashyap subtly hinted at the "real villain" of our country.
The 51-year-old filmmaker is all set to portray a negative character in Bad Cop, an upcoming series directed by Aditya Datt and written by Rensil D'Silva. When asked about his favourite villain in films, Kashyap, known for his unfiltered opinions, slyly remarked, "The real villain of our country isn't onscreen." Gulshan Devaiah, his co-star in the series, humorously pointed out that his response wasn't quite aligned with the question asked.
Talking about the portrayal of villains onscreen, Kashyap stated, "The traditional hero-villain type has become outdated. Nowadays, everything is grey." He then said, "People only see me as a villain, and people often seen me in that role. I'd rather play a character with depth, like a father or a brother. I'm not interested in being a hero, and I'm not capable of performing action sequences at my age and physical stage."
